After a heartbreaking loss to the Magic the last thing the Sixers wanted was another tight affair, but that's exactly what they got tonight in Charlotte. Unfortunately they come a little short once again. Andre Iguodala had 19, Elton Brand had 12 and 10 rebounds, Jrue Holiday had 13 and 7 assists, and Thad Young was huge off the bench with 21 and 6 rebounds, as was Lou Williams again with 11. In the end all went for the naught though.
The Sixers trailed early by 3 after the 1st quarter and 6 at the half. After the 3rd quarter they were still down 6. They finally mounted a rally in the 4th quarter and actually held the lead for a while. As the 1:52 mark they were up 1, 91-90. Then Charlotte pushed ahead again 94-91, but Iggy fouled shooting a three and had a chance to tie things up at the line. He only made 2 of the 3 though and the Sixers remained down by 1 with 40 seconds left. From there Gerald Henderson, who killed them all quarter long, drilled another jumper to put Charlotte up 3 and that was about all she wrote as the Sixers fell 100-97.
