"I told them to keep fighting," Coach Maurice Cheeks said following a dismal first quarter, which ended with the Pacers ahead 38-13. "We just hung in there; we didn't stop." Philadelphia tied the game on a free throw by Andre Iguodala with 3:14 left in the fourth quarter. They gained their first lead on a layup by Andre Miller soon after. "It's hard to hold a lead like that because a team is going to fight," said Miller. Marquis Daniels missed a wide open three-pointer that would have won the game for Indiana. "It was a great comeback by Philadelphia," Indiana Coach Jim O'Brien said. "Sometimes you get too big a lead early in the game -- and the NBA is a game of momentum shifts." |
