The Sixers suffered a tough loss
against the Oklahoma City Thunder Wednesday night 92-88.Philadelphia had many
chances late in the fourth quarter to tie or take the lead but costly turnovers
and poor rebounding ruined their chances of a surprise victory.
At the start of the fourth quarter,
the Sixers were leading 67-63 and playing solid defense. A late turnover by Lou
Williams and a clutch rebound on a missed free throw by Russell Westbrook was
all the Thunder needed for their 28th win of the season.
Philadelphia falls to 21-15 and will play at home against the Golden State
Warriors tomorrow night on ESPN.
Andre Iguodala led the Sixers with
18 points, five rebounds and six assists. Jrue Holiday added 18 points and
three steals.

with two free-throws and finished with 22 points and 13 rebounds. Kevin Durant
had 23 points and James Harden added 16 points and eight rebounds off the
bench.
