Philadelphia closed the gap against Miami in the Eastern Conference First Round 1-2, in a win predicted by a TV psychic. Bob is a believer in destiny now. After running up a $300 phone bill talking with a fortune teller he saw advertised on cable TV, his Philadelphia team managed to upset favored Miami Bob-Bob.

"It was crazy. I called her up, and she knew I was the Philadelphia coach. She saw the whole game before it happened. She told me we needed to build our game around Ziegler, and that sure worked out well. She was telling me their entire gameplan, I couldn't take notes fast enough. She saw that Keeney was going to have a big day for Miami, but not to worry about him and focus on the rest of the team. The best part was she told me at the end that it was destiny for us to win this game. Destiny."

Asked what he thought about Bob's experience, Miami coach Bob replied simply: "No comment".

Philadelphia was led by Ziegler (24 points, 1 assists, 2 blocks), Wilson (8 points, 12 assists, a steal), Austin (20 points, a steal). Miami was led by Keeney (26 points, 5 boards, 1 assists, a steal, a block), Williams (19 points, 2 assists, a block), Hannah (13 points, 0 assists, a block).
