P.J. Washington returned by scoring Dallas' first six points, but Philadelphia had the hot start offensively, as Guerschon Yabusele and Quentin Grimes helped them build an 11-6 lead. But a 6-0 run by the Mavs, with two straight buckets from Washington, a few minutes later put Dallas in front.

Quentin Grimes continued his ridiculous run as a Sixer with a new career-high 46 points, but it wasn’t enough as the team fought hard before falling in overtime.
