The Sixers continued their trend of playing tight affairs tonight as they took on the Charlotte Bobcats. On a night where neither team shot all that well, it was the Sixers who came through down stretch when it really mattered. Andre Iguodala had 16, Elton Brand had 13, Jrue Holiday had 10 and 6 assists, and hero of the night, Lou Williams, had 23 off the bench. Evan Turner also played an important role off the bench as well.
Early on Charlotte had the slight advantage taking a 1 point lead into the 2nd quarter. The Sixers rallied back in the 2nd quarter to take 1 a point into the half. By the 4th quarter they were up by 6. Unfortunately, as has happened multiple times this season, the Sixers could hang on to the lead down stretch. In fact they found themselves down 3 with 8 seconds left before Lou drilled a trey with 5 seconds left. Stephen Jackson then missed a trey at the buzzer, sending the game into overtime. Early on in overtime the Sixers trailed but Iggy hit a jumper with 38 seconds left to put the Sixers up 92-90 and they never trailed again. Evan Turner hit 4 straight free throws in the final seconds to finish off the Bobcats 96-92.
