Philadelphia 76ers vs Dallas Mavericks
Quote:
The Mavericks will put their streak on the line against Philadelphia (17-34), which has won six of its last 11 games. Before that stretch, the 76ers had lost 29 of their last 36 games.
Philadelphia is coming off a 90-89 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. The 76ers blew a 13-point third-quarter lead and missed some golden opportunities late in the fourth quarter, including a missed layup by Samuel Dalembert with one minute to play.
"Unfortunately for us, Sam missed that layup that could have put us up at the end of the wire," coach Maurice Cheeks said.
Despite the loss, the 76ers are optimistic for the first time in a long time.
"I knew we were going to have a shot at the end, and we did," Kyle Korver said after Friday's loss. "That's a lot different feeling than we had a month ago."
Andre Iguodala had 22 points and seven assists against Los Angeles. He has led the 76ers in scoring in each of their last nine games, averaging 24.2 points, 7.6 assists and 6.0 rebounds in that stretch. In five career games against Dallas, however, Iguodala has averaged 11.8 points and 3.4 assists.
The 76ers are 2-2 on their season-high seven-game homestand, with each loss coming by one point. Only Boston has fewer home wins than the 76ers, who are 9-13 at the Wachovia Center.
