The ending of the game was epic and had Philly fans on the edge of their seats.
It was the final minutes of the last half of the crucial game 5 for the 76ers. The Bulls led by one with 7 seconds on the clock. I thought the game was over as C.J Watson was running the court and nobody fouled him. And then - inexplicably - Watson passes to Omer Asik who shoots just under 50% and is quite possibly the worst free-throw shooter on the court. Asik is fouled and misses both free-throws. Iggy rebounds and runs the entire length of the court and gets fouled on the layup. As he went to line the entire stadium was biting their nails, fans were praying, people feared the worst. The pressure was on as Iguodala made both free-throws all-net as the proud 76ers fans in the stadium erupted. The Bulls had about 2 seconds to run the ball with no timeouts and so Watson's desperate hail mary heave marked the last bastion of the Bulls.
