Pre-Season Game
James, Ilgauskas Spoil Sixers' Comeback
PHI: 24 - 16 - 15 - 24 = 79
CLE: 28 - 21 - 14 - 17 = 80

CLEVELAND, OH, Oct. 27 (AP) The Philadelphia 76ers were set to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Q on Monday, for their only pre-season game.
The fans would finally see the long-anticipated debut of Elton Brand, who left the Clippers and signed with the Sixers this summer.
But Brand's debut was badly destroyed by the Cavs' low-post defense, as Big Ben and company held Elton to 2 points and 0 for 6 shooting in the first half.
The score was 40-49 in favor of Cleveland at the half led by Zydrunas Ilgauskas' 11 points. During the first 5 minutes of the 3rd quarter the 76ers were able to only score 4 points, and the Cavaliers took a lead as big as 15.
Coming into the fourth with the score 55-63 the Philadelphia 76ers started a huge comeback run. With the score 75-78 Andre Iguodala drove to the basket for an layup plus the foul, but he missed the game-tying free throw.
With 10 second left in regulation the Sixers finally came back to take the lead 79-78 from an Andre Iguodala jumper, it was their first lead since the early minutes into the second quarter.
6.2 seconds remaining, LeBron James drove to the hoop with emphasis, finshing a right-handed lay-up to give the Cavs a one point cushion. With 2.8 to go, Willie Green missed a contested three to win it.
The Sixers will fly back to Philly to take on the Toronto Raptors for the season and home opener in two days.
LeBron James finishes off an alley-oop.

Im down with your decision to let Willie start because you need Young sparking off the bench. Still I think you could get a better SG though. Maybe a defensive minded player since you say you cant shoot threes well. But dont ask me who to get
Looking forward to more of your Sixers, buzzy!

The second quarter was all Moon though. Jamario made three straight “and-1” lay-ups to help the Toronto Raptors to a lead at the half, 50-45.
The third quarter was all tied up, 23-23, so the Raptors led 73-68 going into the last quarter.
Led by Chris Bosh’s incredible 24 and 19 the Raps were able run away in the last minutes and win the contest 101-88.
Jermaine O’Neal, who also made his debut with a new team,, scored 18 points and grabbed 7 boards.
Elton Brand and Andre Iguodala had both very good overall stats, but it wasn’t enough to prevail over the Raptors.
