Here is a portion of the story:

Sixers coach Doug Collins said that Young, an undersized power forward, deserves consideration for NBA all-defensive honors.

"He's really embraced defense," said Collins, who also raves about Young's pick-and-roll defense. "He loves playing it now. He has a contagious effect with our team. His speed and quickness are amazing. He gives us a chance every night."

i hear that the sixers were fueled by the pacers openly strategizing to “dominate” our 2nd unit. if there is truth to this, i like the fact that we have a mean streak, definitely a trait of the city in this ball club.

or so it goes ...

Lou Williams said a Sixer either overheard or found a scouting report. It might have been something as simple as Indiana coach Frank Vogel saying the Pacers reserves have to play well.
