Tonight, at the Bradley Center, The Philadelphia 76ers loss 97-93 to the Milwaukee Bucks. There are many reasons why the Sixers loss tonight, let’s look at the first reason.
The Bucks tonight had 21 fast break points, while the Sixers only had 6 fast break points. This is bad for the Sixers because this means they were playing the half court set a lot tonight on offense. The second reason why the Sixers loss was because of the combination of Jennings, Gooden, and Ilyasova. Bucks PG Brandon Jennings had 33 points, 7 assists, and 4 rebounds, on 11 of 23 shooting, and 4 of 8 from the three point line. Next, Bucks PF Drew Gooden had 25 points and 10 rebounds (7 defensive). Finally, PF Ersan Ilyasova had 11 points and 18 rebounds (13 defensive).
The last reason why the Sixers loss was because of themselves. From the starting lineup, only Andre Iguodala was in double figures with 16 points. Evan Turner, who was inserted in the starting lineup tonight for G Jodie Meeks, had 2 points on 1 of 12 shooting and 12 rebounds. Most of the Sixers offense came from the bench tonight, as Lou Williams had 26 points, Thaddeus Young had 14 points, and finally Jodie Meeks had 13 points.
The Sixers (22-17) next game is on Wednesday night vs. the Boston Celtics (19-17) at 7:00 pm at the Wells Fargo Center.
