Sixers play host to Brown's Bobcats

Fri 9th, January 2009

(Sports Network) - The Philadelphia 76ers hope to build off an encouraging road victory when they return to the Wachovia Center tonight to host Larry Brown's Charlotte Bobcats.

The Sixers come home after rallying down the stretch to overtake Milwaukee by a 110-105 score Wednesday at the Bradley Center. Philadelphia outscored the Bucks by a 31-20 margin in the fourth quarter and shot 53 percent (8-of-15) from three-point range to earn their second consecutive win.

Andre Miller racked up 28 points, nine rebounds and six assists to spur the winning effort, while Andre Iguodala added 20 points and seven assists for the 76ers, who bested Houston at the Wachovia Center one day prior to Wednesday's triumph.

Charlotte had won two in a row before running into the powerful Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. The Central Division leaders improved to 18-0 at home this season with a 111-81 rout of the Bobcats, with LeBron James leading the way with 21 points.

Raymond Felton scored 15 points and Gerald Wallace had 14 for Charlotte, which was coming off a 114-106 overtime decision over defending world champion Boston on Tuesday.

Wednesday's loss started up a four-game road trip for the Bobcats, who are just 3-11 as the visitor this season. Charlotte will also visit Washington and Detroit on the swing.

The Bobcats will also be searching for their first win at the Wachovia Center since November 4, 2005. Charlotte has lost in each of its last four stops in Philadelphia.

Brown's club did take the only meeting between these teams this season, however. In a November 24 clash in Charlotte, the Bobcats came through with a 93-84 victory over the Sixers fueled by a 25-point, 11-assist effort by rookie D.J. Augustin. Felton added 23 points in that game.
