    Phew. They're not threatning the Rox record anymore. The Sixers notched their first loss of the season after opening with 10 straight wins by falling to a balanced Hornets attack that featured six players scoring in double figures for the 88-73 victory on Wednesday.

    Francis out top, 9 seconds on the clock, he gives a no look pass to Cuttino Mobley, 4 seconds left, Mobley passes to an open Langhi in the corner with 1 second left! Langhi at the buzzer.......YES!!! How Sweet It Is!!

    Yep.. and Baron Davis was one rebound shy of a triple-double. He's turning out to be quite a player.

    My dream job is to be a Houston Rockets towel boy.

    The record was never in jeopardy. They are playing the Spurs on Saturday.

    It's a simple game - put the ball in the hoop. The Sixers got pounded on the boards 66-42, but got some of that back with 10 fewer TO's. But then they shot 28-82 from the field including 2-7 from 3ville.

    People will focus on Iverson, but Ratliff's game was forgetable as well. Since they all basically played poorly, it will be interesing to see if they go back to focusing on individual play or get back to the team concept which got them their current success.
