PHILADELPHIA November 21 (Ticker) -- A young, inexperienced ballclub, the Hornets came to face the short-handed Sixers. Led by Chris Paul, the Hornets look to get their record up to 3-7 against the Sixers, who are without Samuel Dalembert and Kyle Korver. But the Sixers will not give up. They have come off a blowout loss against the Cavs at home and are determined to get a win here tonight.
In the first quarter, Allen Iverson started off hot, scoring 8 of the Sixers first 9 points. But then he got injured. Doctors said it was an arm injury, and he could play through it. While he was out, Andre Iguodala carried the load, scoring 10 points, while offensive rebounds kept the Hornets close in the 1st quarter. The Sixers would begin the 2nd quarter leading by 3.
The Hornets would come out strong in the second quarter when JR Smith made a 3 in which he was fouled. He missed the free throw, but the Hornets clearly had all the momentum. They had the lead up to 10 until Allen Iverson reenetered the game with 1 minute left in the half. That spark was all the Sixers needed and they cut the lead down to 5.
In the third quarter the Hornets took over. Chris Paul controlled the game by scoring clutch baskets and David West had some big boards as they expanded their lead to 16. They did all of this without Desmond Mason, who was hurt in the quarter. The Sixers looked to make a comeback in the 4th quarter.
But they wouldnt even come close. The Hornets continued to get more offensive rebounds as they would bring the lead up even more. The Sixers looked tired, and not ready for a quick Hornets team. The Sixers hope Samuel Dalembert will be back for their next game.
