Last night's Sixers' win, over the Knicks, was impressive. After a scorching first quarter by the Sixers, led by Brand and Iguodala, the team let the Knicks take control in the second and third. Then, down nine going into the fourth, the young Sixers blew past the Knicks. It came down in the end to a two-point game, making the win all the more impressive. It was the kind of game that the Sixers would have, and did, blow earlier in the season. If they can do the same in New York tomorrow, on the back half of the home-and-home, it would be even more impressive. Still, last night was a big step forward.
Brand scored 33 in what had to be his best game as a Sixer. Iguodala had 16 assists and zero turnovers. I do hope he is with the team after the trade deadline.
