They did it!
After months of misery, 28 games of loss, and never ending frustration, the Sixers won a basketball game. It's their first win since March 25, and given the atmosphere of the night it could not have come in a better game. True, from a practical draft pick stand point, this game would have been better for the Sixers to lose, but who needs practicality when you can have unbridled joy instead?
The game began with Matt Cord announcing Kobe Bryant's name to a raucous standing ovation from the Wells Fargo Center crowd. As much as I am usually in favor of supporting players and against booing them, that crowd reaction sucked.
