Mired in a shooting slump in which he shot 9 for 27 from the field and just 3 for 14 from three-point range, Meeks broke out in the home opener on Jan. 6 for 21 points on 7-for-13 shooting with four three-pointers to lead the Sixers to a victory over Detroit. “Basketball is an amazing game,” coach Doug Collins said. “I told our guys afterwards that you can go from the depths of despair as a player and in two minutes be back on top of your game. Jodie Meeks was unbelievable tonight and he has really struggled for us early this year. To see him do what he did tonight was so gratifying because he's a huge part of what we do.”
