It's the second of a back-to-back and one of the last home games of the season. The Sixers have been taking care of lesser opponents at home all year, and this one certainly looks like it could be another of those turnouts. With the Celtics welcoming the Spurs to town, tonight presents a very real opportunity to pick up a game in the division. While it is the second half of a back-to-back (the first being last night's loss to the Heat), I'm still anticipating the Sixers to come out focused as they can see the division lead wandering off into the sunset after every loss.
