The biggest news in the NBA tonight was that the league and the Players’ Association jointly announced a tentative agreement on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement.
In other words: NO LOCKOUT!
Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors and Philadelphia 76ers squared off in Philly, playing each other for the second time this season. And this time, Joel Embiid played!
It turned out that the Sixers having their MVP wasn’t enough, however, as they fell to the Raptors by a score of 123-114.
During the first quarter, the 18-7 Raptors and 6-19 76ers looked like peers, despite being on polar opposite ends of the standings.
