Sixers Lose 2 In A Row

Following an attrocious loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday, the Sixers followed that game with a heart breaking over time loss to the Utah Jazz last night. After being down 60-42 at half time, the Sixers had a strong second half to force over time but eventually lost by a final of 112-107. The Sixers were led by Andre Iguodala who had 7 of his 23 points in the final minutes of regulation and Lou Williams who had 22 points. The Sixers also got contributions from Elton Brand who had 19 points and Jodie Meeks who had 17. Jrue Holiday struggled greatly from the floor going 2-11 with just 4 points and Evan Turner was a non factor. The Jazz were able to hold off a late Sixers run thanks in part to Al Jefferson who led the Jazz with 30 points and 17 rebounds and Andrei Kirilenko who had 7 of his 16 points in OT. Overall it's a tough loss for the Sixers to take. They had an awful game Saturday and looked like they were going to get blown away again last night after they trailed by 18 at the half. But the Sixers showed a lot of resilliance and managed to take the lead in the final minute of the game. Unfortunately the Sixers were not able to close it out and are now 0-2 on this road trip. The Sixers listed Iguodala as day to day with a knee problem last night and could be without his services tomorrow night as they travel to Los Angeles to take on the Clippers. The Sixers shouldn't panic as they are still just a game behind the Knicks for the 6th seed, and 2 of their remaining 3 games on this road trip are against under .500 teams.
