The Sixers continued their west coast trip tonight as they traveled to Phoenix for a matchup with Shaq and the Suns. They were looking for their 5th consecutive victory and had a golden opportunity to move to within a half a game of 5th place in the Eastern conference, as the Heat had lost earlier before they took the court. Not surprisingly with two teams who like to run, playing each other, there was lots of scoring and very little defense. The Sixers themselves, shot 54% from the field,and 47% from beyond the arc but it was not enough, for they simply could not keep pace with the Suns explosive offense. For 3 quarters they managed to stay with them, and actually led by 3 at half, and trailed by just 2 heading into the 4th quarter with the score 93-91. Then in the 4th quarter the wear and tear of playing two nights in a row, finally caught up with the Sixers, as the Suns pulled away to win by 10 with final score 126-116. So the Sixers drop to 34-32 overall and remain 6th in the Eastern conference, 1.5 games behind the Heat for 5th.
