Today on MLK Day, the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 94-82 in an afternoon matinee.
The Sixers were without SG Evan Turner due to a right quad contusion. So the Sixers bench aka the “Night Shift” had to step up their game by scoring more points and playing more minutes. PG Lou Williams played 26 minutes and scored 17 points. While F Thaddeus Young played 27 minutes but only scored 2 points. The starting lineup picked up the slack and got 20 plus points from PG Jrue Holiday and SF Andre Iguodala. Iguodala scored 21 points and grabbed 7 rebounds. Holiday, on the other hand; scored 24 points in 43 minutes. Finally, C Spencer Hawes scored 11 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and was 2 for 3 from three point range.
For the Bucks, C Andrew Bogut scored 20 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. PG Brandon Jennings had a quiet game only scoring 7 points, while dealing with an injury.
The (10-3) Philadelphia 76ers next play the (8-5) Denver Nuggets on Wednesday, January 18th at 7:00 pm at the Wells Fargo Center.
