SIXERS NEWS

Sixers 117 Grizzlies 112
It Was Over When....
Joe Smith dunked with 20 seconds remaining in overtime to put the Sixers up to stay at 115-110. Basically, the final minutes of the overtime period pretty much belonged to the Sixers.
The Game Ball Goes To....
Andre Miller with 11 points and 12 assists, Andre Iguodala with 27 points, 6 assists, and 9 rebounds, Samuel Dalembert with 10 points and 7 rebounds, Joe Smith with 18 points and 12 rebounds off the bench, and Kyle Korver with 27 points off the bench.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
Well, in a game with 24 lead changes and 18 ties its hard to find just one stat that defined the entire game, but here goes. 29, as in 29 fast break points for the Sixers on the night, to just 8 for the Grizzlies on the night, 54, as in 54 points in the paint for the Sixers on the night to just 46 for the Grizzlies, and finally 55.6, as in a shooting percentage of 55.6 on the night for the Sixers to a shooting percentage of 47.3 for the Grizzlies on the night. In fact, if not for the Sixers 21 turnovers on the night, this game could have been a blowout.
The Bottom Line Is....
After defeating the best team in the western conference in their last game, it's only fitting that the Sixers would win this game, for their 3rd win in a row, against the worst team in the western conference.

yeah I think the Sixers do have a promising future, it is good that the Phils still have no injuries, and yeah I guess Jaqua is a cool name
