The overall defense was better- probably due to increased intensity from the playoff atmosphere of the game.  I'm assuming that wears off after a few games and they are back to the old Princeton Defense.

As for AI, I'm not going to judge his quickness until he has been back a few weeks.  Enjoyed how unselfish he was and how he did not dominate the ball... but I won't judge that for a few weeks either.

I supose the overall defense was 'better' except you know the barely acceptable rebounding and the 3 point percentage allowed over 60

And how in tarnation does the home team ONLY GET NINE FREE THROWS when the opponent gets 26....NINE?

sixers committed 21 fouls - nuggest got 26 FT's
Nuggest committed 17 fouls - sixers get 9 FT's?

Someone get tim donaghy in here

Sixers collected 73.2% of their defensive rebounding opportunities.  That's league average.

Combine that with collecting 36.2% of their own opportunities and they won rebounding handily.
