Led by Andre Iguodala, the Philadelphia Seventy Sixers got a much needed win last night. It was their first win in the last 4 games, and also their first road win on the season, beating the Toronto Raptors last night 106-96.
Iguodala finished one rebound shy of a triple double, recording 18 points, 10 assists, and 9 rebounds. Iguodala has gotten off to a rough start to the season, but has been able to turn it around recently by contributing by more then just scoring. He has had at least 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the last 4 games, while scoring in double digits in each of them.
Iguodala, who last season was the Sixers number one option, has had to adjust to the new role of second fiddle to Elton Brand. A lot of people feel that his game is more suited to this role, with his ability to do more then just score. As the season has gone on, he has become more of an all around player, contributing in all areas of them game. He holds season averages of 12 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.
Elton Brand, who has gone through a rough spell over the last few games, broke through last night with 25 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks. Marreese Speights, the Sixers first round pick this off season, contributed 12 points and 7 rebounds off the bench.
The Sixers next game is Friday when they visit the Indiana Pacers, and surprising break out player Danny Granger.
