The Allen Iverson-less Detroit Pistons went into the Philadelphia 76ers house and could not hold their lead, where the Sixers trampled them down the stretch to come away with a win.  The final score was 95-90.  It was also announced that AI would not play any more games the rest of the season.  With the Chicago Bulls beating the New Jersey Nets, this drops the Pistons to the 8th seed in the Eastern Conference.

The top three scorers for the 76ers were Andre Iguodala with 31 points, Andre Miller with 21 points and Lou Williams with 15 points.  Philly shot the ball ok at 48% and were even more impressive on the defensive end, holding Detroit to 38% field goal shooting.  Overall so far, Philadelphia has had a great year especially since the injury to their key signing player, Mr. Elton Brand.  The 76ers improve their record on the season to 40 wins and 35 losses.
