Seven and out for Sixers


Mavericks 95, Sixers 93

Dirk Nowitzki came through when it mattered.

Despite missing 13 of his first 14 shots and 16 of 23 overall, the
seven-foot forward hit a turnaround 17-foot jumper over Reggie Evans at the
buzzer to give the Mavericks a 95-93 victory against Philadelphia, snipping
the 76ers' season-high seven-game winning streak.

"I'm a shooter," Nowitzki said. "I always think the next one is going in.
Nowitzki received the inbounds pass with 4.3 seconds left and spun around
the 6-foot-8 Evans to deliver the game-winning shot.

Sixers coach Tony Dileo didn't second-guess his decision to put the smaller
Evans on Nowitzki.
"Reggie had a good feel for him because he was guarding him for the last five
minutes as we were making our comeback," Dileo said. "Reggie is a physical
guy who did push him out and contested the shot."

Lou Williams scored 25 points, while Andre Iguodala had 18 points and 12
rebounds for the 76ers (20-21), who were trying to climb above .500 for the
first time since Nov. 23 when they were 7-6. The Sixers are now 9-7 while
playing without Elton Brand.



Brand's long-awaited return

The comeback that keeps getting put off may finally be on. Elton Brand, who
hasn’t played since Dec. 17, will likely play on Saturday against the Knicks.
The end of the streak combined with a full four days off makes it a perfect
time for Brand.



Brand 要回來了
