PHILADELPHIA — Allen Iverson rose from his courtside seat during the break between the third and fourth quarters to toss T-shirts into the gleeful crowd seated in Section 115.
The fans who caught them left with a physical souvenir that was likely far more memorable than the game itself that they witnessed. The Sixers finished out the regular season with an ultimately meaningless 118-106 win Sunday night at the Wells Fargo Center.
The game’s atmosphere and flow felt like a Game 82 with little-to-no stakes. The Sixers rested stars Joel Embiid and James Harden, allowing for young players such as second-year big man Paul Reed (25 points on 12-of-14 shooting) to run wild while chants of “BBall Paul!” broke out in the final minutes. The Pistons, whose season is now over, did not play Rookie of the Year contender Cade Cunningham.
