Sixers 102 Hornets 96
It Was Over When....
With about 3:00 minutes left in the 1st quarter the Hornets, trailing 18-16, were hit with a technical foul for illegal defense. Kyle Korver hit the resulting free throw and the Sixers wound up scoring the next 5 points in a row en route to a 9 point lead at the end of the 1st quarter which they would never relinquish.
The Game Ball Goes To....
Andre Miller with 17 points and 11 assists, Andre Iguodala with 20 points and 6 assists, Samuel Dalembert with 10 points and 7 rebounds, and of course Kyle Korver with 25 points off the bench.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
49.4 as in a 49.4 shooting percentage and 50 as in a 50 3 point shooting percentage for the Sixers on the night, to just 42.2 and 29.4 respectively for the Hornets on the night. The Hornets actually hoisted more 3 pointers and more shots all together than did the Sixers, yet they hit far fewer shots than did the Sixers and so they lost and the Sixers won.
The Bottom Line Is....
Either the Sixers don't really want that first pick in the draft or maybe just maybe they're actually better than we all think they are. If it's the former they'll get a chance to prove it in front of the home crowd as they get ready to begin a long homestand heading into the all-star break.
