76ers-Kings Preview

After suffering back-to-back losses to open their trip, the Philadelphia 76ers defeated one of the weaker teams in the Western Conference the last time they took the court.

A meeting with the last-place Sacramento Kings could help Philadelphia in its quest for sixth place in the East, and the 76ers will try for a sixth consecutive victory in the series Friday night.

Philadelphia (35-33) had won seven of nine on the road prior to losing to Milwaukee and Utah to begin its five-game trip.

The 76ers, vying with New York for the sixth seed in the conference, allowed an average of 107.0 points in those two losses but used a strong defensive effort Wednesday night to defeat the Los Angeles Clippers 104-94.

Coach Doug Collins' team forced 17 turnovers and held Los Angeles to 4-of-13 shooting from 3-point range en route to its 11th win in 12 games when holding opponents under 100 points.

"It was a tough game but we had to have it. We had lost two in a row and we felt like we are a better team than to lose two in a row," said Elton Brand, who had 19 points, 12 rebounds and a season high-tying five blocks. "We had to have this game and we got it."

Collins was ejected right before halftime after picking up his second technical foul.

"I just thought I had to stand up for our guys and they were great," he said. "They responded. We talked at halftime about how important this game was to get a road win and break our two-game losing streak."

Guard Jodie Meeks, who had 22 points Wednesday, has gone 9 of 16 from long distance in his last two games. Meeks averaged 9.5 points over his first 50 contests but has scored 14.9 per game over his last 10.

"Jodie Meeks has been great," Brand said. "He didn't even dress at the start of the season, so for him to hit these big shots and play the way he's been playing, it's been great for us."

Philadelphia, 5-8 on the road versus West opponents, has outscored the Kings by 16.0 points during its five-game run in the series.

Sacramento (16-50) fell 97-93 to NBA-worst Cleveland on Wednesday night for its seventh loss in eight games.

The Kings had averaged 105.9 points over their previous eight matchups but shot just 38.0 percent. Sacramento has dropped eight straight and 29 of 33 when scoring less than 100 points.

Marcus Thornton had 23 points after scoring a career-high 42 in Monday night's 129-119 win over Golden State.

"To see that we played so well against Golden State and then to lose like this hurt," said Thornton, averaging 24.0 points in his last nine games. "It hurts, but it's the NBA. We have to put it behind us and get ready for Friday. We have a good Philly team coming in."

Samuel Dalembert will be facing the 76ers for the first time since being traded to Sacramento in July. The 6-foot-11 center, who spent the first eight seasons of his career in Philadelphia, registered a career-high 27 points to go along with 16 rebounds versus the Warriors.

He scored 16 and grabbed 10 boards Wednesday, and is averaging 19.7 points - 12.3 more than his season mark - and 11.3 rebounds over the past three games.

Holiday leads 76ers to 102-80 win over Kings

Posted Mar 19 2011 1:45AM

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) All five starters rested comfortably on the bench the entire fourth quarter Friday night for the Philadelphia 76ers.

It was that easy of a victory for a team that's making a huge second-half push.

There was no need for any fourth-quarter minutes for the starters, who helped build a 26-point lead through three quarters. Jrue Holiday had 15 points and nine rebounds in helping the 76ers coast past the Sacramento Kings, 102-80.

The victory moved the 76ers ahead of the New York Knicks into sixth place in the Eastern Conference. Philadelphia is a half-game in front of the Knicks and three behind Atlanta, which is fifth.

"(Other) teams got losses and we get wins our last two games, so it was another good night for us," 76ers coach Doug Collins said.

There have been a lot of good nights of late for the 76ers, which certainly wasn't the case early in the season.

It's been a turnaround season for Philadelphia, which won only 27 games a year ago. After a horrible 1-10 start under new coach Collins, the Sixers have become a formidable team, going 23-12 since a Jan. 3 loss in New Orleans.

"He brought in a new system and has held us all accountable," veteran Elton Brand said. "We were all disappointed by the 3-12 start, no one was happy about that. We took it upon ourselves to all work hard and get better."

The 76ers were certainly better than the Kings in practically every area. Struggling Sacramento shot 34 percent, committed 22 turnovers that led to 27 Philly points, and was never in the game after the opening quarter. It got so bad that disgruntled Kings fans were booing, a rarity at Power Balance Pavillion.

The struggles continue for the Kings, who own the worst record (16-51) in the Western Conference and could be headed to Anaheim next season. The Maloof ownership was granted a relocation extension until April 18, five days after the regular-season ends. The Maloofs will have the opportunity to discuss their options at the NBA Board of Governors meetings on April 14-15.

"This was a bad game for us, I don't blame the fans for booing," Kings coach Paul Westphal said. "It wasn't good basketball by us."

DeMarcus Cousins had 19 points and 12 rebounds for the Kings, who have lost eight of nine. Omri Casspi scored 14 points and Beno Udrih had 13.

Lou Williams added 14 points and Andre Iguodala had 13 points, nine assists and seven rebounds for the 76ers. Iguodala will rest his sore right knee Saturday against Portland, the final game on the team's five-game road trip.

After dominating the first half, the 76ers came out strong again in the third quarter. Jodie Meeks scored seven points in the first 6 minutes, including a 3-pointer at the 6:06 mark that put Philadelphia ahead 68-42.

Iguodala credited defense for the lopsided victory. The 76ers had a season-high 16 steals and blocked five shots in beating the Kings for a sixth straight time.

"The Kings are a high-turnover team," said Iguodala, who had three steals, one less than Holiday. "You don't have to gamble or be aggressive and go for steals against them to get turnovers. We just let them make the mistakes."

Holiday scored all his points in the first half for Philadelphia, which shot 48 percent and led 55-38.

The game was the first meeting between Philadelphia center Spencer Hawes and his Kings counterpart, Samuel Dalembert, who spent eight seasons with the 76ers. The two were traded for each other in the offseason.

Hawes, drafted by the Kings in 2007 as a 19-year-old with one year of college ball, was greeted with applause when the starting lineups were announced. He is enjoying a playoff run for the first time after three losing seasons with the Kings.

"It's great. You have so much on the line every night," said Hawes, who had six points, six rebounds and four assists. "Playing with so much on the line this time of year is really fun."

Notes: Holiday scored 12 first-quarter points for the 76ers, who ran off 11 straight and led 32-23. ... Marcus Thornton appeared injured when he slipped and fell underneath the Kings' basket late in the first quarter. He was on the floor for several minutes, but eventually walked slowly to the bench, then returned to play the entire second quarter. ... The Kings shot 32 percent and had 12 first-half turnovers that resulted in 15 points for the 76ers. ... Meeks had made two or more 3-pointers in 10 straight games, but hit just one against the Kings. The streak was the longest by a 76ers player since Kyle Korver's 19-game run in 2004-05.

Sixers-Kings notebook

By Jimmy Spencer, for NBA.com
Posted Saturday March 19, 2011 1:20AM

THE FACTS: The Philadelphia 76ers used an overpowering defensive effort to drown the Sacramento Kings for a 102-80 road victory on Friday night. The Sixers ran away with the game early, led by Andre Iguodala's defense and 13 points, nine assists and seven rebounds.

THE STAT: Since beginning 3-13 to start the season, the Sixers have gone 33-20 since. That record since Nov. 27 is good enough for eighth best record in the league during that span.

QUOTABLE: "It's us working harder. We were all disappointed with that 3-13 start. No one was happy. So we stayed in the gym, we watched more film, coach held us accountable. Each player took it upon himself to get better and help us win."
-- Sixers forward Elton Brand.

TURNING POINT: It wouldn't take the Sixers long before they took control of the game against the Western Conference's worst record. The Sixers used a strong first quarter to lead 32-23 after the first quarter and were up 55-38 by halftime. Philadelphia led by as many as 28 points.

HOT: Philadelphia's defense was seemed to overwhelm Sacramento's offense on Friday night. The Sixers played good team defense, especially in transition where the Kings scored just eight points in the game.

NOT: Or maybe it was just that the Kings offense was miserable. The team rarely pushed the ball to earn easy looks at the basket and, in the half court, made bad passes and forced bad shots. The Kings shot 34.5 percent and turned the ball over 22 times.

INSIDE THE ARENA: The Sacramento home crowd at Power Balance Pavilion booed loudly when Omri Casspi air-balled a 3-pointer midway through the third quarter as the team trailed 80-55. The crowds booed at times throughout the night when the team struggled.

QUOTABLE II: "I don't blame the fans for booing; it wasn't good basketball by us uncharacteristically."
-- Kings coach Paul Westphal.

ROOKIE WATCH: Demarcus Cousins was the lone bright spot for Sacramento on the night. The rookie center out of Kentucky scored 19 points and added 12 rebounds. Ohio State product Evan Turner played 23 minutes and scored eight points while adding three assists and three rebounds.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Sixers guard Jrue Holiday has picked his play back up following a pair of subpar performances to open up the trip (six points, two assists at Milwaukee and four points, three assists at Utah). After tallying 20 points and nine assists at the Clippers on Wednesday, Holiday had a team-high 15 points and added nine rebounds and five assists against the Kings on Friday.

NOTABLE: Andre Iguodala will not play in Saturday's game at Portland to rest his knee, rather than play in back-to-back games. Iguodala said he was in pain shooting on Friday morning and also felt a little pain shooting before the game. He said it will be much needed rest. He will get five days of rest, as the team doesn't play again until Wednesday vs. Atlanta...Brand was given the option by coach Doug Collins not to play on Saturday at Portland, but said every game counts right now and will opt to play... Kings guard Luther Head did not dress for the game with a sore right calf.... Sacramento guard Tyreke Evans worked out on sidelines during the Kings' practice on Thursday and could be back playing limited minutes as early as late next week. "Assuming there are no setbacks, we should see him late next week probably playing some minutes," Westphal said.

UP NEXT: For the Sixers, Saturday at Portland, Wednesday vs. Atlanta, Friday at Miami. For the Kings, Sunday at Minnesota, Monday at Chicago, Wednesday at Milwaukee.
