Labaron Philon Jr. has some special offensive tape…
Skinny guards are a horror story as old as time, but Philon’s hyper-efficient 3-level scoring, free throw rate, & nasty work out of the pick-n-roll suggest a role at the next level. VERY fun to watch.
Cristopher Sánchez extends his scoreless streak to 47.2 IP!
He passes Bob Gibson (47 IP in 1968) for the 5th-longest single-season scoreless innings streak since the mound was moved to its current distance in 1893 🤯
Cristopher Sánchez is the second pitcher since at least 1900 to make 5+ starts in a calendar month and *not allow a single run* (excluding openers), joining:
Sept 1988 Orel Hershiser
What a run!!!!!
Cristopher Sanchez is absolutely right there with Paul Skenes and Tarik Skubal for title of best pitcher in baseball and I’m tired of people pretending like he’s not

Tyrese Maxey on the Sixers' Game 1 loss:
"Like [Nick Nurse] said, it doesn't matter if we lose by seven or 70. They won one game and we lost one game."
