The Sixers traveled to Detroit for a matchup with Allen Iverson and the Pistons, as they looked to rebound from their loss to the Bobcats on Friday. Early on it looked like the Sixers would handle the struggling Pistons, but then Sammy Dalembert went down with an injury, and at the end without Sammy D protecting the middle the Pistons were able shred the Sixers defense and pull out the win. 27 points from Andre Iguodala, and 22 from Thaddeus Young just were not enough, as the Pistons shot 52% from the field. Early on the Sixers had the lead and actually were clinging to a one point lead at the half and a 4 point lead heading into the 4th quarter with the score 83-79. Then the Pistons turned it on in the 4th, and with no Sammy D to shut them down, they rallied to a point lead of their own and did not relinquish it, winning 101-97. So the Sixers drop their 2nd in a row and fall to 37-35 overall, still 6th in the Eastern conference, but now 1.5 games behind the 5th place Miami Heat.
