February 11th, 2021 was highlighted by Carmelo Anthony taking over in the 4th quarter against the East-leading Philadelphia 76ers to provide Dame with another support to hand the Sixers their first loss when fully healthy (14-1). Ben Simmons played lockdown defense on Lillard in the second half along with a highly-efficient near-triple double, Steph Curry exploded for 10 3PM, and Jimmy Butler reached those triple-dub thresholds to lead Miami over Houston. Many MLB offseason moves went down involving RP Ken Giles (SEA), IF Marwin Gonzalez (BOS), OF Nomar Mazara (DET), OF Jake Marisnick (CHC), and RP David Phelps (TOR).
