After a pitiful 3-13 record to start the season, the Sixers finally reached the 500 mark Friday night beating the Pistons by a final of 110-94. After heading into the All-Star break just 2 games under 500 at 27-29, the Sixers knew that they needed to come out this week and take care of business at home vs the Wizards and Pistons. The Sixers crushed the Wizards on Wednesday night getting contributions from just about everyone. 7 guys were in double figures for the 76ers including Jrue Holiday and Thad Young. The Sixers controlled the whole tempo of the game and didn't let the Wizards any breathing room and eventually won by a final of 117-94. On Friday night it was more of the same from the Sixers who continued their strong all around play. Thad Young led the scoring with 24 going 12-15 from the field. Andre Iguodala also contributed by stuffing the stat sheet with 21 points, 11 assists and 7 boards. The Sixers also got help from the Pistons coach who decided to bench some of his guys after an incident at a team shoot a round earlier today. The Sixers won by a final of 110-94. Right now the Sixers are 29-29 and just 1 game behind the 6th seeded Knicks who lost tonight to Cleveland. Looking ahead to next week, the Sixers will visit Cleveland on Sunday and then return home on Tuesday for a 3 game home stand vs Dallas, Minnesota and Golden State. I expect the Sixers to continue their strong play with some very winnable games in the upcoming week.
