Philadelphia will continue to the Eastern Conference Semifinals by beating Brooklyn 4-3, upstaging Brooklyn 116-93. Showing more glitter than a Brittany Spears concert, perfect Philadelphia execution, a brilliant game by Wilson, and impeccable play-calling by Bob provided all the right ingredients for a big win.

Hester was key for Brooklyn, but after the game he looked like somebody had just run over his dog. "I thought we could do it. The whole game I was still thinking we were going to win. I guess that's the difference between thinking it and doing it. Give Philadelphia credit - they are nothing but class. I just feel sorry for coach Bob. He had us ready and we let him down."

Philadelphia was led by Wilson (11 points, 14 assists), Austin (7 points, 4 steals, a block), Blunt (16 points, 3 blocks). Brooklyn was led by Hester (19 points, 1 assists, 3 blocks), Spring (17 points, 3 assists, a steal), Alves (12 points, 7 boards, 0 assists, a block).
