This was a nice solid win by the Sixers. I felt good about this game all day, so good that I was going to put money on it. Of course I forgot, but the team pulled it out.

There was no point in this game that I felt like the Sixers were out of it. Despite falling behind 16, and being on the edge of 8 straight Ls, they won because Houston isn't good enough to put anyone away.

A good part of the comeback was driven by the young guys. Louis Williams and Thaddeus Young in particular played a huge role in the turnaround.

Now while it's easy to stop there, a big reason the team won the game was because of Dalembert. There is no bigger critic of the guy than me, but it's amazing to see him out there battling the much larger Yao Ming and only picking up 5 fouls. Not only was he a factor there, but he still pulled his weight blocking shots. Great game. Also quiet as kept but he's having his best season as a pro.

There were things in this game that inspired confidence for the future. Also things that show that this team should contend for a playoff spot next season.
