SIXERS NEWS

The Sixers have been playing so well lately, you're almost surprised to see them go down as hard they did tonight, but not really. Considering they turned the ball over 18 times to the Pacers 8 turnovers, and shot just 34.6% from the field, to the Pacers 45.7%, it should come as no surprise that they lost. Offensively, four Sixers scored in double figures(Andre Miller, Willie Green, Andre Iguodala, Samuel Dalembert) With the Andre's leading the way with 16 a piece. Defensively, Samuel Dalembert led the way again with 14 rebounds and 6 blocks, and Reggie Evans chipped in with 16 rebounds as the Sixers out rebounded Indiana 55-39. Early on, the Sixers held the winning hand leading 28-26 after the 1st period. From there, the rest of night belonged to the Pacers. By halftime Indiana led 50-47. After the 3rd quarter the route was on with Pacer lead at 81-67. By the bitter end Indiana had won easily 102-85, to drop to the Sixers to 10-15. However, the Sixers remain tied for 3rd place in the Atlantic division with the New Jersey Nets.
