The Sixers went into the all star break tonight by using a solid all around effort to take down a solid Houston Rockets team. They really did it all. They out rebounded Houston 50-40 and did a good job limiting the effective of most of the Rockets, except for Kyle Lowry who went for 6 for 9 from beyond and scored 36. Meanwhile, Andre Iguodala had a triple double, with 13, 12 rebounds,and 10 assists, Elton Brand had a double double with 10 and 11 rebounds, Spencer Hawes also had a double double with 17 and 10 rebounds, Jrue Holiday was huge with 20 and 8 assists, Evan Turner was stellar with 10 and 6 rebounds and Thaddeus Young and Lou Williams were big off the bench as well with 19 each.
Despite the overall solid play of the Sixers Kyle Lowry's hot shooting kept things close all night long. The game was actually tied after a quarter of play. By the half the Sixers had eeked ahead by 3. In the 3rd quarter the Sixers continued to be just a bit better as they extended to an 8 point lead. Lowry and the Rockets did a go on a run to start for the 4th quarter, but the Sixers withstood the challenge and eventually hung to win by 9. So they head into the all star break at 27-29 overall and 7th in the Eastern conference. Not bad they considering they started the season 3-13.
