    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">In the final minutes of practice Tuesday, the Sixers were working on end-of-game situations with a one-point differential in the score.

    It's an area they clearly need to work on, particularly after Sunday's 94-93 loss to Indiana in which they allowed the Pacers' Stephen Jackson to score on a wide-open layup with 2.9 seconds left.

    Jackson was being guarded by Sixers forward Kyle Korver, one of the team's weakest defenders, while players such as shot blocker Samuel Dalembert and Matt Barnes were on the bench. Korver slipped. John Salmons supposedly failed to switch, and Kevin Ollie got over too late to help.

    Sixers coach Maurice Cheeks said one thing he would've done differently in that game is call a timeout on his team's next-to-last possession.
