Elton Brand had a nice double-double with 21 points and 10 rebounds, Jrue Holiday contributed 17 points, six rebounds and eight assists, Evan Turner managed 16 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists. It was ultimately the passing efficiency of the Sixers that overwhelmed the Kings, with 30 assists to 10 turnovers compared to 16 assists to 15 turnovers.
