Sixers win big
LeBron's performance not good enough

Dalembert's 9 blocks and plays like this helped Philly win.
Today each team was determined to win. There were many lead changes, stuff like that. In a high scoring battle between two good teams, there was plenty of excitement. Earlier in the game, Andre Iguodala and the rest of the Sixers shut down LeBron James, holding him to 12 points through 3 quarters. But then King James came right back at them to show them why he is the MVP. In the 4th quarter and OT, James had 22 points, including a killer 3 that hurt Philly.

But Philly would not go down. Under the leadership of Allen Iverson, the Sixers were able to get back the lead. At the end of regulation, Eric Snow missed a 3 to send it to OT.
In the overtime session, two Sixers, Dalembert and Chris Webber, fouled out. The reserves stepped up, and hit the free throws to get the win.
