The Sixers returned to action tonight as they welcomed the New York Knicks to the Wachovia center. From the beginning it was a shootout and as in their last meeting the Sixers' firepower proved to much for New York. Offensively, Andre Iguodala led the way with 24 points, while Andre Miller added 21 points, and Sammy Dalembert registered his first double double in a while with 10 points and 17 rebounds, as the Sixers shot another hot 53% from the field. Neither team really played much defense, although the Sixers did rack up 10 steals, 8 blocks, and 41 rebounds and thus the win. The Sixers took the early lead after a quarter of play with the score 36-30. The Knicks rallied back in the 2nd quarter to take a 3 point lead, with the score 66-63. In the 3rd quarter the Sixers rolled back ahead by 5 with the score 86-81. In the 4th quarter the Sixers simply maintained their lead eventually hanging on to win 116-110. So the Sixers again move to an even .500 at 21-21 overall and remain 7th in the Eastern conference.
