The Sonics got off to a hot start, pushing ahead 19-6 halfway through the first quarter. Despite the slow start for the 76ers, they pulled themselves to within four points at the half with a strong first-half performance from big man Glen McGowan who had 11 points and four rebounds in the first 20 minutes of play. In the third quarter, the 76ers got to within just two points of Seattle, but the Sonics pulled away with great guard play from Noel Felix and Tony Bobbitt. Both Seattle players were in double digits by the end of the third quarter as the Sonics led with a 13 point lead. Both teams shot just over 40 percent, but the difference came in the turnover category as the 76ers had 17 in the first three quarters. As the fourth quarter started, it looked like there would not be an undefeated team in this year?s RMR, but the 76ers weren?t done making an effort to go 5-0. Philly made a run down the stretch, but late Seattle pulled away as they pushed their lead to eight. A break away dunk by Louis Williams pulled Philadelphia to with four points with :27 left. Rodney Carney brought the 76ers to within one points with :15 left on a long three-pointer. When Kansas standout Aaron Miles made two free throws, Seattle was up by three. With :06 seconds left, Louis Williams faked Noel Felix in the air, drawing a foul shot on the three-point line. Williams missed the first free throw, and made the last two at the line. A Philadelphia foul and two Robert Swift free throws later, the Sonics were back up three points now :04 left. A Steven Smith three-pointer fell short for the 76ers, and Philadelphia lost its first game of the Revue. Both Smith and Williams ended with 21 points. The Sonics had six players in double-digits including Desmon Farmer, Noel Felix, Robert Swift, Aaron Miles, Tony Bobbitt, and Andre Emmett.</div> Recap: http://www.nba.com/jazz/Revue/06game13.html Boxscore: http://www.nba.com/media/jazz/Game13.pdf Well the good thing is that Williams cut down his turnovers, Smith had a strong performance with 21 and 10, and Carney came back and played well. Today we take on Marvin Williams and the Hawks.
Yeah, Louis did do pretty well cutting down on the turnovers, and of course scoring the ball. Steve Smith had another terrific game, and I'm 100% sure he will make our roster, as long as Billy King doesn't lose his mind. Carney played decent. Hopefully next game Edin Bavic and Bobby Jones will get more playing time. Oh yeah, and thanks for all the updates Smitty. Keep them coming!
I’m pretty satisfied despite the lose at least Carney came back, and played well. Bobby Jones was also able to play despite being nagged by injuries. Overall, the league was a success the team performed pretty well; Louis Williams and Steven Smith even made the All Revue Team.
