The 76ers held on to thrilling victory on Darryl Dawkins Tribute Night.
After blowing a 15-point lead, they came through in the clutch to post a 103-98 decision over the Brooklyn Nets at the Wells Fargo Center on Saturday.
The Sixers improved to 8-32 despite playing without their lifeline, point guard Ish Smith (sprained left ankle). They snapped a four-game losing streak.
Robert Covington gave the Sixers the lead for good at 97-96, draining a 26-foot three-pointer with 1 minute, 16 seconds left. They extended their lead to three points, 99-96, when Nerlens Noel dunked on Brook Lopez with 21.
