Knicks 106 Sixers 99
It Was Over When....
The 1st period ended. The Sixers never led during this game but they kept it close until there were about 2:00 minutes left to play in the 1st period. At that point Kyke Korver had just hit a jumper to cut the lead to 26-21, only to be outdone by Stephen Marbury who hit a three pointer to put the Knicks up 29-21. Surprisingly, from this point on the Sixers would not get back to within 8 points of the lead until the very end of the game.
The Game Ball Goes To....
Stephen Marbury with 24 points and 6 assists, Jamal Crawford with 12 points and 6 assists, Channing Frye with 17 points and 8 rebounds, Eddy Curry with 20 points and 10 rebounds, and Quentin Richardson with 19 points off the bench.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
53.1 as in a 53.1 shooting percentage for the Knicks on the night to just a 44.3 shooting percentage for the Sixers on the night. Like last night the Sixers did not shoot well enough and allowed the Knicks to shoot too high a percentage, and thus never had any real chance to win.
The Bottom Line Is....
This is 4 straight losses now for the Sixers and sadly there doesn't appear to be an end in sight to their losing streak anytime soon. Also this game wasn't their only loss on the day, as the Sixers front office bought out the contract of star forward Chris Webber earlier today, effectively making him a free agent. So both Iverson and Webber have left the Sixers and things don't figure to get better for them until next season.
