Philadelphia 109, Charlotte 104, and the final score is the number that counts now. The model had the Hornets at a slight 52 percent, which is close to a coin flip, so the result is the story.

nah the model can't measure a 38-point night from maxey. that's not a coin flip, that's a guy who wanted it bad. philly grinding without embiid and lebron is the real story for me

A coin flip is a coin flip until the Celtics are the ones on the wrong end of it, then suddenly the model is a crime scene. The final score is the story only when you like it. Ask me about the refs in 2008 and we'll talk.
