SIXERS NEWS

The Sixers traveled to Detroit tonight for a matchup with the Pistons. Once again they jumped out to the early lead in this with a dominant first half. In fact they were up 56-30, that's right 26 points heading into the 3rd quarter and that's without AI who sat out with his bad knee again. Once again they almost blew it, but somehow they managed to hang in there enough in the 4th quarter for a 104-94 win to break their 2 game , losing which should have been a winning, streak. Elton Brand's 25 points off the bench led 6 Sixers in double figures. Iggy had 16, Thad Young had 10, Sammy D had 16 and 9 rebounds, Lou Williams had 14, and Willie Green, subbing in for AI, added 15. The Sixer's D was better tonight then it had been, as they held Detroit to just 41% from and only 5 threes, while outrebounding them 40-34. So all in all it was a good effort for the Sixers and their 11th win of the season. Let's just sat they need quite a few more games like this to have a chance of doing anything this season.
