SIXERS NEWS

The Sixers looked to make it two wins in a row as they traveled to Milwaukee for a matchup with the Bucks. Milwaukee jumped out to an early lead but the Sixers kept up their lights out shooting and eventually rallied to victory, against the chronically bad Milwaukee defense, one of the few that's actually worse than the Sixer's defense. All told on the night the Sixers shot a blistering 51% from the field and 53% from beyond the arc as Andre Iguodala and Andre Miller led the way with 20 and 28 points respectively. They also shot an impressive 82% from the free throw line, hitting 32 free throws. Basically they schooled the Bucks on what a good offense is supposed to look like. Defensively, they were solid with lots of blocks and steals. Essentially they did just enough defensively for a win, but could have done better and at some point they are going to have to if they want to keep this thing going. Anyway the Sixers briefly led by 5 after a quarter of play, but by the 4th quarter Milwaukee had turned the tables with a 6 point lead of their own with the score, 85-79. The 4th quarter belonged to the Sixers as they outscored Milwaukee by 11 and eventually rallied all the way back to hang on for a 5 point win with the final score 110-105. So the Sixers move to 15-20 overall , now just a game out of 8th in the Eastern conference, currently occupied by you guessed it, the Bucks.
