76ers 95, Cavaliers 91
The Philadelphia 76ers rallied from an early 12-point deficit to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers, 95-91, on Sunday and move over .500 for the first time this season.
The Cavs trailed 91-88 and had a chance to tie late, but Daniel Gibson passed on a potential game-tying 3-pointer and instead gave the ball to an unsuspecting J.J. Hickson, who turned the ball over with 12 seconds left.
Elton Brand had 16 points and eight rebounds despite dislocating his right pinky in the third quarter. Lou Williams had 16 points off the bench and Jrue Holiday had 13 points and nine assists for the Sixers (30-29), who have won a season-high four in a row and 13 of their last 17.
Hickson had 22 points and 16 rebounds for the Cavs and Antawn Jamison added 16 points, but fractured his left pinky in the third quarter and did not return.
