What BBN said about it

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThe Sixers scored zero points in the third quarter until LeBron James hit a three with six-oh-five to go, and they still beat the Pacers, one fourteen to one oh nine.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentZero points for almost half a quarter. And that's the winning team.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorLook, the Pacers ran off seventeen straight and led by thirteen, and I'm telling you, that is a family in crisis.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorYou can't build a lead like that and then hand it back. Anfernee Simons came off the bench and hit six of ten threes.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorI know that bench. It has a view.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the Pacers had a perfect stretch and the Sixers had nothing, and the scoreboard picked the Sixers.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThat's basketball, Kenji! LeBron's whole speech is probably, I was just getting warm.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWhat about the other games?

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorWorld Series, Game 5: Brewers four, Rays nothing in the bottom of the seventh, and Milwaukee leads the series three games to one.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorKnicks one thirty, Bulls one twenty-seven with six point two left in the fourth. Warriors one thirteen, Timberwolves one oh four with two-sixteen left.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorOilers two, Flames nothing going to the third.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSixers, eight out of ten. The Pacers made the best highlight of the night, and it's in the other team's win.
