SIXERS NEWS

Big win for the Sixers today! well okay maybe not, but they did win, it just wasn't all that big since the playoffs are pretty much out of the question for them at this point. Anyway tonight's game was a tale of 2 halves. In the first half it was all Hawks with the Hawks up by 12 at half, 53-41. With Kyle Korver out with an injury and most of the Sixer starters playing limited minutes, it seemed as if the Hawks had it all sown up. However, the Sixers led by Andre Iguodala and his game high 25 points turned the tide in the second half as Iguodala dunked with 56 seconds left to tie the game at 93 and send it into overtime. There, it was all Sixers with a Willie Green 3 pointer giving them the lead for good, as they held on for the win 109-104. Still mathematically alive, at 4 games back with 6 to play the Sixers will be better served from here on in to forget about the playoffs and start planning for the draft.
