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.

How to Identify Content Marketing in Search Engine Results

 How to Identify Content Marketing in Search Engine Results When looking for reviews and guides, make sure you're not reading someone who has a vested interest in you purchasing their product. GOOGLE RESULTS ARE EVEN LESS USEFUL THAN BEFORE. It's all my fault. Okay, not completely. Until recently, I worked full-time for a software company, where I wrote articles aimed at ranking high in Google results, where they would receive millions of clicks.   This is becoming more common in your search results. It's called content marketing, and it falls somewhere between editorial content on sites like this one and outright advertising. Content marketing at its best combines a certain amount of useful information with something that serves specific marketing goals. At its worst, content marketing allows marketers to rank blatant sales pitches high in search results while also ruining your day. Whether you realize it or not, you are probably constantly interacting with search-based ...
