 Heavy Minutes Take Their Toll The Sixers came out strong in NJ tonight, but faded in the second half and overtime on their way to a crushing 94-92 defeat.After jumping out to an 18-point lead in the second quarter, the Sixers managed only 10 points in the third, and despite Andre Iguodala's heroics in the fourth, they fell in overtime. There's really only one stat we need to look at after this one, and that's minutes played. Here are the numbers for last night and tonight, combined, for each player.
Tomorrow is a day of rest (and rooting for A.J. Feeley) for the Sixers. They play host to the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night. Player of The Game: Andre Iguodala, 24 points, 3 boards, 4 assists, 4 steals, 1 block and 12/12 from the foul line. Team Record: 5-11

Very good wrap up Brian. It was a true uphill battle, and the refs weren't much help either. But, if you said before this stretch that they would go 2-2 while taking NJ at home to OT on saturday night, while NJ had been off since Tuesday, I think we would've taken it
Absolutely. They're definitely playing for Cheeks, you can't deny that. Monday is a game they absolutely should win. We'll have to wait and see. They earned the off day on Sunday.
