Depleted 76ers Snap 13-game Losing Streak, Beat Nets 95-89
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Carly Landry scored 16 points, Nerlens Noel had 13 points and 11 rebounds and the Philadelphia 76ers snapped a 13-game losing streak with a 95-89 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night.
Ish Smith added 10 points, nine assists and seven rebounds for the Sixers (9-56), who won their first game since Feb. 6 — also against Brooklyn — despite dealing with several injuries.
Robert Covington finished with 12 points for the Sixers before exiting with 9:40 left in the third quarter. He was kicked in the face by teammate Jerami Grant in a collision under the basket, and was taken off on a stretcher and transported to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, where he'll be evaluated for a possible neck injury.
Brook Lopez scored 24 points for the Nets (18-47), who have lost three straight and finished the longest road trip of the NBA season with a 3-6 mark.
