Boban Marjanovic nails 3-pointer, tells Tobias Harris it was for him

Dallas Mavericks big man Boban Marjanovic drilled a 3-pointer for best friend Tobias Harris.

It was a tough night all around for the Philadelphia 76ers as their road woes continued in a 109-91 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday. They have now lost 5 in a row on the road and it puts a damper on the brief two-game win streak they had at home.

On top of that, former Sixers big man Boban Marjanovic drilled a 3-pointer to top off the scoring and then appeared to playfully have something to say to his best friend, Tobias Harris. The lovable big man looked over at the Sixers bench, pointed at Harris, and said that the shot was for him.

The two have maintained their long-standing friendship that they have established so it was all in jest, but it had to feel good for Marjanovic. Harris had 20 points and 10 rebounds to lead Philadelphia in scoring to win the battle, but Marjanovic and the Mavericks won the war and ultimately, that’s all that matters.

The Sixers will now try to snap their road losing skid when they head to Indianapolis to face the Indiana Pacers on Monday. [lawrence-related id=23284,23271,23260]

Boban Marjanovic’s stay with the Philadelphia 76ers was not long. It lasted just half a season as he came over from the Los Angeles Clippers along with best friend Tobias Harris, but his impact on the Sixers and their fans was made over the 22 games.

Heplayed in Philadelphia as he became a fan favorite rather quickly. He averaged 8.2 points and 5.1 rebounds with the Sixers and he even played a role for them in the playoffs.

On Friday night, he made his first trip back to the City of Brotherly Love with the Dallas Mavericks and the fans greeted the loveable giant with a big standing ovation.

Fans were upset when Marjanovic left for Dallas as it broke up the amazing “Tobi and Bobi” friendship, but the two maintain a strong bond despite Harris remaining in Philadelphia and Mrajanovic leaving. For one night at least, they got back together for a night in Philly.

The Sixers and the Mavericks are locked in a battle with Philadelphia trailing Dallas 35-28 after one quarter. [lawrence-related id=21736,21720,21712]
