ET and Iggy take over in OT to win
This games started rough for the 76ers.
Through the first half the Raptors were draining shots left and right hitting 61% at the half and hitting 57% at the final buzzer. Doug Collins told his team to do what most teams wouldn't do so early after being down just 12. Start shooting 3's. All of the players responded starting with new pickup Leando Barbosa hitting to big threes to put the Sixers within 5 points in the second quarter. Jrue Holiday also responded by hitting three by the end of the game.
Though in the second half is when Evan Turner and Igoudala were really being felt. Holiday, Turner, and Igoudala all combined for 12 steals with most coming in the second half. Turner and Igoudala ran every fast-break coming of these steals and slamming them home, getting easy layups, or going to the line.
In the forth quarter if became a back and forth affair too. With Holiday hitting two threes in the previous quarter, Collins wanted him to take the final shot from three while the game was tied at 105. He dribbled up, waited for the clock to run down, and gunned the three but hit left rim and bounced out, sending the game into overtime.
The game could still be felt by Evan Turner though. Capitalizing on Holiday's getting his final six points in overtime. Holiday gave the Sixers a three point lead with his last made three in the game. After that the Raptors struggled to make baskets as the lead eventually moved to six when they had to start fouling. Igoudala ran through backcourt to try and wind down the final seconds as the final seconds and was final to hit the last two free throws to seal the deal for the Sixers towards their opening night win.
"My heart was racing in those final seconds," Igoudala stated. "I'm proud to see Evan (Turner) go off tonight and help us towards that win."
"This game should help Iggy's trade stock." Huey Newton told reporters when asked about the Igoudala trade. "He played great, but as many see, our frontcourt was rushed out there and we only finished with 22 rebounds at the end of it. That made it hard for us to get much of a lead and with Andre's(Igoudala) soon to be trade. I hope to fine someone that can fill those holes or score as much as E.T.
