The Sixers finally got a signature win against an Eastern conference opponent tonight as the Celtics visited the Wells Fargo center. Once the Sixers were great defensively, holding Boston to just 41% shooting from the field and 27% from beyond. Andre Iguodala was doubly outstanding on D, holding Paul Pierce to just 11 points and no treys. He also fell just short of his 3rd triple double in 4 games with 13, 8 assists, and 9 rebounds. Elton Brand was also solid with 14 and 5 rebounds, Spencer Hawes was great with 14 and 10 rebounds, Jodie Meeks drilled a couple more treys and wound up with 11, and Lou Williams chipped in off the bench with 12. All in all it was just enough down the stretch for the Sixers to open a late 5 point lead after an Iggy runner and then hold it, as Boston failed to foul them in the final seconds. The Wells Fargo center was then as loud as its been all year the Sixers celebrated a huge 89-86 win.
