Tonight the Sixers look for their third win of the week against Indiana. Wait, what? Yup this is no joke. After being blown out by Milwaukee, the Sixers bounced right back against the Nets last night with a 90-88 victory. Down at the half, the Sixers ended up outscoring the Nets when it counted. The 4th quarter score was 26-17 in favor of Philly. It's always very encouraging when you can see a young team finish a game late.
The 15-23 Pacers will probably be the toughest test of the week besides the Bucks. Noel is coming of a solid performance logging 33 minutes with 12 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. He also capped the game of with a nice dunk on an inside pass from MCW. He will have his hands full tonight with David West who is averaging 12 points and 6.7 rebounds a game, after returning from injury a few weeks ago. I'd also like to see how well Covington can play tonight due to the Pacers holding opposing teams to 31.2 percent from three land. It will be hard to top last night's great team win, but we could definitely grab our second in a row tonight.
