Sixers 125, Kings 91

Sixers Overtake the Kings

Philadelphia, PA- 

A night after letting one get away against Atlanta, the Sixers left no doubt about this won. The Sixers won every quarter, up 20 at halftime, and went on to win by 34 points. The win improves the Sixers record to 2-2, and drops the Kings to 0-4. So while this was not a win agaisnt a quailty team, it is still a win, and early in the season, that is all that matters. 

Thaddeus Young led the way with 18 points, with Elton Brand chipping in 15. The Sixers also got good production off there bench, with 4 players scoring in double digits, led by Louis Williams, who had 17. The Sixers were able to shoot almost 60 percent from the floor, and a whoping 77 percent from beyond the arc. The Kings on the other hand, had only 4 shots from three point land. The Sixers Donyell Marshall had that many all by himself. 

We will know alot more about these Sixers soon, who play 4 out of their next 5 on the road, starting with the Miami Heat on Wed. Night. They then go to Orlando, home agaisnt the Jazz, then to Toronto (who already beat the Sixers), then to Indiana. This is a huge stretch for the Sixers, who cannot fall behind to far this early in the season. While non of those games are a given, if the Sixers want to be among the elite this season, they must win at lest 3 of the 5.
