Sixers finish Rocky Mountain Revue undefeated

Lou Williams scored 13 of his game-high 28 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Sixers past the Atlanta Hawks, 76-71.

With the win the Sixers completed the Rocky Mountain Revue as the league's only undefeated team (5-0) after going 3-2 at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.

Louis Amundson chipped in with 14 points, eight rebounds and a game-high four blocks while rookie Herbert Hill had 18 points and nine boards. Hill was inserted in the starting lineup in place of fellow rookie Jason Smith, who is out with a left ankle sprain.

Williams and Amundson were both vying for the league's Most Valuable Player award, which went to Utah's Pail Millsap.

In four games played, Williams averaged a team-high 24 points while Amundson started all five games, averaging 15.4 points, a team-high 9.8 rebounds and a league-high 2.80 blocks.
