PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Lonnie Walker IV and Quentin Grimes scored 25 points apiece and the Philadelphia 76ers earned a 126-122 victory over the Utah Jazz on Sunday night.
Walker added 11 rebounds and five assists in 34 minutes off the bench for the 76ers (22-41). Grimes made going 6 of 13 from the floor, including 4 for 9 from 3-point range, and 9 for 9 from the free-throw line while adding six assists.
Kyle Filipowski led the way for the Jazz (15-49) with 25 points, seven rebounds and three steals. Keyonte George added 25 points, six rebounds and three steals for Utah.
The 76ers went into halftime leading the Jazz 65-58. Grimes put up 16 points in the half. Grimes scored the 76ers’ last eight points as they closed out a four-point victory
Takeaways
76ers: Philadelphia snapped a three-game losing streak and won for the first time since a 118-116 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Feb. 4.
Jazz: Utah has lost five games in a row to teams that are a combined 94 games below .500 this season.
Key moment
Kyle Filipowski hit two 3s in a six-second span to cut Utah’s deficit to 124-122 with 3.0 seconds left and it appeared that Philadelphia’s Jared Butler turned the ball over underneath the Jazz basket with 1.8 left.
