SIXERS NEWS

The Sixers up and down season continued tonight If you remember, they were down in their last game falling to the Nets, so tonight, you guessed it, they were back up again in a big way against the Charlotte Bobcats. Willie Green poured in 14 points, Andre Iguodala scored a game high 19 points and off the bench Rodney Carney chipped in with 11 points, rookie Jason Smith added 10, and heck even top rookie Thaddeus Young scored 6 points in just 11 minutes. Defensively, Samuel Dalembert ruled the boards again with a game high 13 rebounds, and as a team the Sixers were relentless forcing the Bobcats into 26 turnovers, leading to easy Sixer's points. The Sixers got off to a fast start and led by 9(23-14 at the end of the 1st period). By the half the Sixers had upped their lead t0 17, 49-32. By the end of the 3rd quarter the Sixers had pushed their lead to 22, 70-48 and it was all but over. In the 4th quarter, backups began entering the game, but the Sixers kept playing hard and when all was said and done, they had won by a whopping 31 points, with the final score being 94-63. Obviously the Sixers can't expect to win like this in every game, but it's nice too see it every once in a while, even if the Sixers committed 20 turnovers of their own in the process. So the Sixers even their record at 2-2 and for now at least there's still hope for them this season.
