SIXERS NEWS

Pacers 97 Sixers 86
It Was Over When....
The Pacers hit three consecutive three pointers to start the 3rd period and take a 21 point lead which they would never relinquish.
The Game Ball Goes To....
Jermaine O'neal with 16 points and 11 rebounds and Al Harrington with 14 points and 8 rebounds.
The Stat Of the Game Is....
14.3 as in a 14.3 3 point shooting percentage for the Sixers on the night. Coming into tonight's game the Sixers were the top three point shooting team in the league by percentage, but tonight the shots didn't fall for them and they lost.
The Bottom Line Is....
Well, you knew the Sixers were going to lose a game sometime, and tonight seemed like it would be the night for it to happen. Ironically, the Sixers started 0-3 last year and beat the Pacers in their 4th game of the season for their 1st win. So maybe this loss is a good sign for the Sixers and the new and better direction this team seems to be going in. I just hope they can get back on the winning track tomorrow night against the Raptors.
