Sixers Stun Magic to Win Game 1!

Look at that face! What an absolute death stare to Orlando delivered courtesy of Andre Iguodala. That's not the only thing he had for the Magic. How about a game-winning field-goal with 2.2 seconds left to cap a furious comeback from 18 down and take Game 1? What a game it was. The Sixers chose to focus their defense on the outside shooters with which the Magic have burned them this year and let Dwight Howard go off. That was expected but they caught a real break when Howard had to leave the game to attend to his eye. During that stretch the Sixers began to close the gap. It was the Sixers' own hot shooting in the 4th quarter where they went 5-for-7 from three-point territory and 74% overall that keyed the comeback victory. All those people who swore the Sixers would get swept can eat their words because this is now the playoffs and things are always different when you face the possibility of ending your season very soon. There is no reason for any player on the team to hold back in any regard. They fought all season without their big offseason pickup to get where they are and I hope they continue to make some noise and get the respect they deserve. Next game is Wednesday and we should expect the Magic to come out with a vengeance after this game. Then bring it back home on Friday night and I hope the Wachovia Center is rockin!
