The Sixers returned from the all star break tonight as they traveled to Indianapolis for a matchup against the Pacers. They were looking to pick up where they left off before the break on a 4 game winning streak. Instead they came out rusty, shooting just 38% from the field and 13% from beyond the arc in a close loss. The Defense was okay with 11 steals, but it didn't matter as the shots just didn't fall tonight for the Sixers. Andre Iguodala was the only bright spot for the Sixers with a game high 20 points and 9 assists. Meanwhile, Maurice Speights, the Sixer spark plug just before the break, registered 0 points, rebounds, or blocks on the night. He'll need to wake up again if the Sixers are to get going again. Anyway back to the game, the Pacers lead early by 10 after a quarter of play and by 11 at the half with the score 55-44. By the 4th quarter the lead was up to 17 with the score 80-63. Finally in the 4th quarter the Sixers mounted a rally but it was too little too late and the Sixers eventually succumbed by9 with the final score 100-91. So the Sixers drop to 27-25 overall and into 6th in the Eastern conference.
