Dalembert Free Throws In OT Help Kings Outlast 76ers 114-111
The Philadelphia 76ers will likely make an appearance in the National Basketball Association playoffs, courtesy of their talent base and most importantly, coach Doug Collins. On the other hand, the Sacramento Kings, also young and talented, are looking ahead to the 2012 season, presumably under another city name. Wells Fargo Center was the venue of [...]
Durant’s 3 In OT Helps Thunder Edge 76ers 110-105
One thing that was discovered during Wednesday night’s game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Philadelphia 76ers is that both teams are clearly on the rise.

Nowitzki’s Buzzer-Beater In OT Helps Mavericks Edge Bucks 115-113
Monday night’s game between the Dallas Mavericks and the surprising Milwaukee Bucks was close through and through, so much so that it went an extra period. But it took a desperation basket by Dirk Nowitzki in overtime that hit the front of the rim, bounced off the backboard then went in, which allowed Dallas to [...]
76ers Blow 23-Point Lead, Rally To Beat Knicks In OT 141-127
It isn’t every day that two Eastern Conference teams go retro and decide to score tons of points – something that hasn’t been seen since the ABA era. Yet it happened Saturday night when the Philadelphia 76ers paid a visit to Madison Square Garden to take on the New York Knicks. Both teams shot very [...]
