Guard Lou Williams, Forward/Center Marreese Speights, Guard Royal Ivey, Forward Reggie Evans, Center Theo Ratliff, Forward Donyell Marshall.
PLAYER NOTES: --F/G Andre Iguodala hit the game-winning shot with a tough 19-foot jumper over Hedo Turkoglu with 2.2 seconds remaining. That made up for missing two free throws with 1:07 to go and the Sixers down by one. Iguodala (plus-6) was the only Sixers' starter with a plus-minus total that wasn't below zero.
--Seldom-used F Donyell Marshall was a difference-maker in Game 1. The 15th-year pro came in and contributed all 11 of his points in the fourth quarter on 4-for-5 shooting, including 3-for-4 on three-pointers, in 11 minutes. His three-pointer with 34 seconds remaining tied the score.
"He's like our secret weapon," said Sixers coach Tony DiLeo. "He turned the game around and spread the floor, offensively. I am not surprised. He's done it in the past."
--G Royal Ivey, a fifth-year pro, and rookie F/C Marreese Speights are making their playoff debuts this spring. Ivey had five points and one steal in 13 minutes and Speights went scoreless on 0-for-2 shooting in seven minutes.
