76ers 97, Wizards 86: Jrue Holiday scored 22 points and dished out seven assists to lead Philadelphia to a rare road win.
Thaddeus Young had 18 points, 13 rebounds and four steals for the 76ers, who snapped a three-game slide and picked up their 10th win away from home. Spencer Hawes and Damien Wilkins chipped in 15 points apiece.
John Wall scored 24 points to pace Washington, which has lost four straight and finished its home schedule with a 22-19 record.
Philadelphia trailed by as many as 13 in the second quarter before rallying to within a point at the break and taking a 62-59 lead on a Hawes 3-pointer with 4:48 left in the third. Holiday followed with a three-point play, Hawes added another basket to cap a 12-0 run and the Sixers opened a 74-65 lead entering the fourth.
The Wizards never got closer than seven points in the final frame in losing their second straight home game after a nine-game winning streak at the Verizon Center. Washington made a season-low one 3-pointer in 13 attempts.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The Wizards were without SFs Trevor Ariza (knee) and Martell Webster (abdomen). ... Sixers SF Evan Turner missed all 11 of his shots and was held scoreless for the first time since April 17, 2012 vs. Indiana. ... Washington must win at Brooklyn on Monday or at Chicago on Wednesday to reach the 30-win mark for the first time since 2007-08.
