(My Sportsbook) - The Philadelphia 76ers resume a grueling six-game road trip Friday in North Texas when they face the Dallas Mavericks. The Sixers improved to 1-3 on the trek on New Year's Eve in Hollywood when Andre Iguodala netted a season-high 28 points with seven boards and as many assists to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a 100-92 triumph over the Los Angeles Clippers at Staples Center. Thaddeus Young logged 20 points and Andre Miller chipped in 15 points and nine assists as Philadelphia snapped a four-game losing streak. Philadelphia, which is just 6-10 on the road, will finish its road swing on Saturday in San Antonio. The Mavs, meanwhile, won their second straight game on Tuesday when Jason Terry scored a game-high 29 points, and Dallas came back from 29 points down in the third quarter to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves, 107-100, at American Airlines Center. The deficit marked the largest comeback in the history of the franchise, as Terry shot 5-for-9 from three-point range for the Mavericks, who outscored the Timberwolves, 67-38, in the second half. Dirk Nowitzki had 24 points and 13 rebounds, while Josh Howard posted 23 points in the win as Dallas improved to 9-6 at home. Jason Kidd recorded 14 points, 16 assists and seven rebounds in the Mavericks' fifth win in six games and 10th consecutive win over Minnesota. The Sixers snapped a four-game skid to Dallas with a 84-76 win in the City of Brotherly Love last season. |
