Magic 86 Sixers 84
It Was Over When....
Magic point guard Jameer Nelson, all 5-11 of him, blocked the last ditch shot of Sixer point guard Kevin Ollie, as time expired.
The Game Ball Goes To....
Dwight Howard with 28 points and 12 rebounds, and Grant Hill with 23 points and 7 rebounds.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
Once again, 0 as in 0 minutes played tonight by Sixers star Allen Iverson. Yes the Sixers the played well against the Magic, taking them to the final buzzer, but when it came time for the Sixers to put up that last shot there was no Iverson to take it, and instead they gave the ball to Kevin Ollie and you know the rest.
The Bottom Line Is....
The Sixers actually played pretty well tonight for a change. Chris Webber again lit it up, coming within 2 assists of a triple double, and the other A.I, Andre Iguodala chipped in 19 points. The Sixers defense also came to life for the first time in a while, limiting the Magic to just 86 points on 44.6% shooting. Still, when it came time to take that last shot, the Sixers were at a loss without Allen Iverson in the lineup for the 2nd night in a row and they came up short, suffering their 7 straight loss. However, if the Sixers can keep playing like this ,they may just end this losing streak sooner rather than later.
