The Sixers admit that the officiating in Game 4 against the Raptors bothered them.

TORONTO–The Philadelphia 76ers had a chance to sweep the Toronto Raptors and advance to Round 2 on Saturday, but they were unable to find a rhythm and were defeated 110-102 in Toronto. In Game 5, the series will return to Philadelphia.



The Sixers lost their cool a little bit because they were upset with how the game was called. Philadelphia attempted 25 free throws to the Raptors' 35, and the Sixers were called for six more fouls.


Coach Doc Rivers believed that his team would be unable to overcome the officiating in this game because they had allowed them to get inside their heads. Georges Niang fouled out after 22 minutes, Joel Embiid fouled out four times, and Tobias Harris fouled out five times.

"Give them credit, they played hard and physical," Rivers said. "I thought we complained a little too much tonight" (Saturday). We just have to go play."


Embiid was also called for a technical foul, as was Toronto's OG Anunoby, who got into a shoving match with the big man. The Sixers simply could not maintain their cool.

"We definitely lost our cool on some of those calls," Harris admitted. "100%, so we have to stop focusing our energy on that and just play ball."


Philadelphia will now look to complete the sweep of the Raptors in Game 5 on Monday at home.

Who Was the Longest-Serving Cast Member on 'Saturday Night Live' Before Kenan Thompson?

Kenan Thompson is the longest-tenured cast member on Saturday Night Live, having been with the show for 19 seasons. Fans may recall him as a teen on All That, Kenan & Kel, and D2: The Mighty Ducks. Thompson is currently the show's oldest cast member. But the 43-year-old has no plans to leave, despite the fact that he is working on a number of other projects outside of SNL, including his NBC sitcom, Kenan. Kenan Thompson has been a member of the Saturday Night Live cast for 19 years. The audience expects a high turnover of cast members on a show like Saturday Night Live. This is because the show is frequently a watershed moment in a comedian's career. Once they've established themselves on the late-night sketch show, they frequently have to decide whether to stay or leave for film and television projects.

Beyond recycled art projects, here are five reasons why you should teach about climate change this Earth Day.

 Beyond recycled art projects, here are five reasons why you should teach about climate change this Earth Day. When I taught fourth grade in New York City, I always assigned a traditional Earth Day project, instructing students to make art out of recyclable materials such as empty toilet paper rolls and tin cans. We planted seeds and went on nature walks around our neighborhood, and the kids made bird feeders and wind chimes. My objectives were for students to learn the value of recycling and to develop an appreciation for nature. As a parent of a kindergartener and a second grader in Chicago Public Schools, I've participated in countless of these projects with my own children. In recent years, I've come to recognize the importance of doing more to educate students about climate change, one of today's most pressing issues, thanks in large part to the local and global advocacy of young people. It's a great time to do it because it's Earth Day. The Earth is currently ...
