SIXERS NEWS

The Sixers stayed on the road tonight as they traveled to Houston for a matchup with the Rockets, as they looked to get back to .500 yet again. They struggled again from the beyond the arc at a measly .08%. However, Andre Iguodala put up 20 and Elton Brand scored an encouraging 14 off the bench to provide the Sixers with some scoring punch. Meanwhile, the Sixers D was tough all night with 14 blocks, 11 steals, and 48 rebounds to just 40 for the Rockets. The Sixers actually held a slim 27-26 lead after a quarter play, but by the half the Rockets were up 6 and by 14 at one point in the 3rd quarter. Then the Sixers turned up the D and roared back to within 5 by the end the 3rd quarter and eventually took a 2 point lead with 29 seconds to play. Samuel Dalembert then blocked Tracy McGrady at the buzzer to close out the spirited 95-93 Sixers win. So again the Sixers move back to .500 at 22-22 overall and remain 7th in the Eastern conference.
