Philly looses to Cleveland.
« on: October 21, 2005, 11:08:22 AM »
It was a 4pt. victory for the Cavs in the first game back for AI.  The game wasn't telelvised so I didn't see it, but heard it on the radio.

The game was tied at 90-90, so it was very close.  And ended up at 106-102 with a desparation freak three-pointer by Cavs rookie Luke Jackson springing the win.

The only reason I'm writing this is what I saw in the box score.  Cleveleand outshot the Sixers .506 to .489 and the Sixers shot more thank to turnovers.  

The real differnce came from the Cavs three-pt. shooting and free throws.  Or more aptly Iverson's inability to hit them.  The Sixers shot under 50% from the line, and Iverson shot exactly that, going to the line for 12 shots and making 6.

So inspite of being the leading scorer and putting on a show, Iverson lost the game. He also missed all three three point attempts.
