SIXERS NEWS

Sixers 89 Hornets 78

It Was Over When....
Joe Smith hit a hook shot with just over 3 minutes to play in the 2nd quarter. From there the Sixers went on a 13-2 run to finish the half and take an 11 point lead which they would never relinquish.
The Game Ball Goes To....
Andre Iguodala with 22 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists, Steven Hunter with 12 points and 10 rebounds, Samuel Dalembert with 9 points and 15 rebounds, and Joe Smith with 12 points and 12 rebounds.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
58 as in 58 rebounds for the Sixers on the night to just 40 rebounds for the Hornets on the night. At the same time the Hornets shot only 39.3% from the field on the night. Obviously if you shoot poorly and you can't get any rebounds you're not going to score a lot of points and you're not usually going to win either.
The Bottom Line Is....
You know what, forget about all the troubles the Sixers have had this season, they're playing well right now, and that's all that matters. Sure it's probably too late for them to save this season, but hey at least now there's hope for next season.
