Having won 6 in a row coming into tonight the Sixers had an opportunity to get back to .500 if they could make it 7 in a row tonight against the Knicks at the Garden. Once again the Sixers continued their hot shooting and solid defense and made all the necessary plays when they had to in rolling to their 7th successive win. Offensively, Andre Iguodala led the way with 28 points and Andre Miller added 27, as the Sixers shot 50% from the field and 40% from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, on defense the Sixers ruled the glass with 43 boards to just 36 for the Knicks, while forcing 18 turnovers including 11 steals. So it may have not been an unstoppable effort this time around, but it was a more than adequate workmanlike performance for the Sixers on this night. It was a tight game early on with the Sixers leading by just 2 at the half with the score 52-50. The Sixers turned it on in the 3rd quarter racing out to a10 point lead heading into the 4th quarter with the score 76-66. Finally in the 4th quarter the Sixers simply took care of business and maintained their lead until they had closed out a 107-97 win. So the Sixers return to .500 for the first time since November at 20-20 overall and remain 7th in the Eastern conference. May this streak never end.

We can only hope it never ends, but it wouldn't be all that bad if it lasted 20 games.
