By all accounts, a 2 point game with 25 seconds left in Minnesota, against a team that decimated them at home 119-84 is a great effort. To do it without AI certainly has to be considered a great effort! I scanned through today's NBA stats just to give you an idea of how great an effort it was. Consider this;
AI ranks #1 in Points Per Game (28.9)
AI ranks #7 in Assists Per Game (7.2)
AI ranks #4 in Steals Per Game (2.37)
AI ranks #2 in Minutes per Game (41.7)
AI ranks #5 in Free throws Attempted (302)
AI ranks #11 in Effenciency (22.53)
AI ranks #2 in Turnovers Per Game (4.27)
Okay, I know "Efficiency" is a strange one for ya. The Efficiency Formula:
((PTS + REB + AST + STL + BLK) - ((FGA - FGM) + (FTA - FTM) + TO)) / G
Where did that one come from? Hockey is my guess. The turnover stat may explain some things. Interesting enuff Kobie leads the NBA in that category.
The Sixers finish their west coast death march 5-3, 15-17 overall, 1 game in back of the Atlantic leading Knicks in a division that someone has to win (or so we are told). So all things considered a 89-84 loss to the Timberwolves ain't that bad.
