Coming off close to their worst loss of the season, the Sixers figured to play much better tonight in Utah. Unfortunately for about 3 quarters it was more of the same, basically just a lot of mistakes, missed opportunities, and a lack of energy on the Sixer's side of the floor. Eventually the Sixers did finally wake up in the 4th quarter, but it still wasn't really a great effort overall. Defensively they were probably good enough to win for the most part, but offensively it was a struggle as they shot just 42% from the field and 38% from beyond, with just 5 Sixers in double figures. Andre Iguodala led the way with 23 and Lou Williams chipped in with 22 off the bench to spearhead a late rally that saw the Sixers erase a 21 point deficit and go up by 3 in the final seconds.
Jodie Meeks, who scored 17, then missed a free throw to preserve the 3 point and Utah was able to tie it up. Andre Iguodala missed a pull up J for win after that and the game went into overtime where the Sixers ran out of gas and fell 112-107.
