This week of Sixers Review dissects the Los Angeles Lakers and
Atlanta Hawks game. I was able to attend both games. The Sixers
played shorthanded against the Lakers and were without the services
of Jrue Holiday. Kobe Bryant played an outstanding game. He scored
34 points on 12-21 shooting. Kobe had 4 rebounds and 6 assists.
He was scoring effortlessly and put on an array of moves and ball
handling to the delight of the crowd. The 20,000 in attendance showed
the appreciation of his play with the oohs and ahhs throughout the
Wells Fargo Center.
The Sixers lack the defensive intensity to stay with the Lakers. They
did not defend the 3 point line and gave up 14 threes. If Holiday played,
the game would have been more competitive.
The Atlanta game last night was totally opposite. Holiday returned and
was hitting his shot. The Sixers showed strong defensive pressure and
double the post players of Atlanta. Evan Turner led the way with 21
points. Thad Young added 18 and had two outstanding hustle plays.
One was a play where he battled two defenders for consecutive put backs,
the result being a lay up.
Lou Williams returned and was warmly received by the crowd. The Sixers
showed a video of one of Lou's game winning moments while in Philly.
The Sixers are headed on the road and hope to have Andrew Bynum back
sometime soon.
