After an embarrassing loss to the Thunder in their last game the Sixers looked to rebound tonight as they welcomed the Toronto Raptors to the Wachovia center. Thanks to a career high 29 points out of Thaddeus Young and 19 and 13 rebounds out of Sammy Dalembert the Sixers were able to do just that. Offensively, they were on the mark shooting a blistering 56% from the field and getting to the free throw line 30 times. Defensively, they were slightly better than Toronto, which was enough against a Raptor's team that has struggled defensively all season. The two teams were actually tied at 19 after a quarter of play, but by the half the Sixers had sprinted out to a 17 point lead they would not relinquish. By the 4th quarter the lead was still 18 with the score 92-74. Finally in the 4th quarter, the Raptors made some inroads but it was too little too late, as the Sixers hung on to win by 9 with the final score 115-106. So the Sixers again move back to .500 at 31-31 overall but remain 7th in the Eastern conference.

Woo .500 again...I wonder how many more times I'll get to say that.
