SIXERS NEWS

20 and 12 rebounds from Elton Brand and 15 and 10 assists from Jrue Holiday weren't enough tonight in Milwaukee as the Sixers, playing their 5th game in 7 nights, ran out of gas in a 93-87 OT loss to the Bucks. Thad Young also chipped in with 14 and 6 rebounds, Jodie Meeks had 13 and 5 rebounds, and Spencer Hawes had 12 and 7 rebounds in the losing effort. The Sixers actually came out firing and took a 9 point lead into the half before Milwaukee rallied back to tie things up heading into the 4th quarter. The Sixers had just enough left in the tank to keep things tied throughout the 4th. After Brand sunk a jumper to tie it at 79 with 1:42 to play, the Sixers missed 2 shots to win the game and then Holiday was stripped in the final seconds to force overtime. They just didn't enough left after that to pull it out.
