Hey, look at that: the San Antonio Spurs are in town and they have a winning record for a change (27-21). In fact, the last time they didn’t finish a season over .500, Tom Brady was a second-string quarterback at Michigan.
The Sixers’ seconds currently have no strings. They have been owning the final 12 minutes of the first half lately. They have won the second quarter six straight games and 10 of their last 11. And at home it is even more impressive: eight straight second-period wins and 13 out of 15, with two ties. They haven’t lost a second quarter at the Wells Fargo Center since before Thanksgiving.
