Sixers top the Knicks

Just when the Sixers were on the verge of starting a big losing streak with a 4-game skid, they turned things around and won two in a row. On Wednesday they took down Washington, and last night they beat the Knicks in New York. I listened to some of the 4th quarter on the radio, and even though the Sixers led, it sounded like the Knicks had come back from an even bigger deficit. The Sixers led 29-11 at the end of the first quarter but were then outscored in each of the remaining three. Fortunately the Knicks were so cold at the beginning of the game that they dug a very deep hole. By the end, the Sixers had come out on top by a score of 108-103. Their record is now 29-28, which is good enough for second place in their division (though they're way behind the Celtics). Tonight they'll host a very tough Orlando Magic team, so it would be great if they could pull off an upset.
