The Sixers traveled to Oklahoma City tonight for a matchup with the Thunder. After laying 110 points on the Grizzlies last night the Sixers were not quite as prodigious tonight. In fact they were totally off from beginning to end. Perhaps it was fatigue or maybe the Thunder actually played really good defense for once. Whatever the reason the Sixer's just never really got going on the offensive end in this one, shooting just 39% from and field, failing to even break 80, and posting just 9 assists to 20 turnovers . The Thunder for their part were solid defensively, outrebounding the Sixers 41-33, racking up 12 steals, and doing all this without an injured Kevin Durant. The Sixers had the lead early by 6 with the score 24-18. Then the Thunder took over in the 2nd quarter and found themselves up by 12 at the half with the score 48-36. From there the Sixers never managed to get back in the game and the Thunder eventually went on to win by 15 with the final score 89-74. So the Sixers drop back under .500 at 30-31 overall but remain 7th in the Eastern conference.

I come back after 3 days and whats new with the Sixers? It seems that they've continued their pattern of getting a couple games over .500 and then dropping back down...but hey, what are you going to do
