A Miraculous Comeback


At one point, the Sixers trailed the Indiana Pacers 20-2. By the end of the first quarter, they trailed, 38-13.

It looked like the Sixers would have to tack another "L" into the loss column. But somehow, someway, they came together as a team and topped the Pacers 92-90.

Thaddeus Young had another huge game, leading the team with 25 points and completed the double double with 10 rebounds. Andre Miller also put on a nice performance with 19 points and really helped the team get things started on offense. 

*It was really cool seeing the Sixers' Kareem Rush come on the floor and actually be paired up with his brother, Brandon Rush, a forward for Indiana.

This was a great win for the Sixers, considering they had to overcome a huge deficit to pull it off. Hopefully, this was the spark the Sixers needed and will motivate them for their upcoming games.

The Sixers will host Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight at the Wachovia Center. Should be a good game as I am really looking forward to seeing Durant in action.
