76ERS MAKING A RUN FOR IT
After winning 3 in a row, the Philadelphia 76ers are just 5 1/2 games out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Samuel Dalembert, playing through a back injury, had seven points, 16 rebounds and three blocks in Friday's win over the Hornets. Don't look now, but the Sixers have won three straight games. Rodney Carney, Lou Williams and Thaddeus Young all hit double digits in scoring off the bench, while Andre Iguodala filled the stat sheet in the win. Dalembert isn't a reliable scorer, but doesn't miss games and is playing for a contract. Keep running him out there.
