Jrue Holiday scored 24 points and sparked a decisive third-quarter run, leading the Philadelphia 76ers to a 105-91 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.
The loss dropped the Clippers to 0-11 on the road and was their 15th consecutive defeat away from home dating to last season. Los Angeles (5-21) has lost four in a row overall and has the worst record in the league.
Andre Iguodala scored 20 points, including 16 in the second half, and Spencer Hawes had 16 points and 12 rebounds for Philadelphia (10-15), which has won three straight and seven of nine.
Rookie Blake Griffin led the Clippers with 20 points, adding 18 rebounds. Baron Davis scored 18 points but only two in the second half, when Los Angeles was held to 35 points.
Trailing 68-65 midway through the third quarter, the 76ers finished the period with a 22-6 run to lead 87-74 going into the fourth period.
Jodie Meeks was fouled shooting a 3-pointer and made all three free throws to tie the game. Holiday's layup gave the 76ers a 70-68 lead with 5:32 left in the quarter, and Philadelphia pulled away.
Iguodala scored six points on a 3-pointer and a conventional three-point play, Elton Brand added five points and Thaddeus Young hit two shots to spark the run.
