After trailing for nearly the entire game, hometown (and nearly forgotten about) heroes, the Sixers, swished into the NBA playoffs by upsetting second-seeded Detroit by a score of 90-86. Led by a cast of unsuperstars, the Sixers courtrunners all stepped it up in a big way and swung the ax until they chopped Detroit’s lead and took over the game in the 4th quarter. Thanks to a botched shot by Philly’s own Simon Gratz grad Rasheed Wallace, the Sixers were able to hang on and now have control of the series with a 1-0 advantage. Game 2 gets underway on Wednesday.
