A really good Gradey Dick game. Now if the 3s ever come back around...

Jamison Battle just limped out of the game. Looked like he was coming out of the game for a sub anyway but he's headed to the locker room.

Not really. Hepburn is the lead guard there, Martin/Lawson more 2-3 assist guys. They can share the duty but surprised if either looks like a "point" guard

Kyle Lowry calls that “Probably one of the greatest moments of my basketball career,” seems very appreciative of the Toronto fan support.
Is also appreciative of his teammates pushing him to check in, and building the lead, as well.

Several 76ers appear to be trying to talk Lowry into coming into the game.

I might be misreading you, but to be clear, this is a nice thing -- it's likely Lowry's last visit here and the crowd wants to see/cheer him
