NBA roundup: 76ers end losing streak after losing Jahlil Okafor for the season

Carl Landry scored 16 points, Nerlens Noel had 13 points and 11 rebounds and the Philadelphia 76ers ended a 13-game losing streak with a 95-89 victory over the visiting Brooklyn Nets on Friday night.

Ish Smith added 10 points, nine assists and seven rebounds for the 76ers (9-56), who won their first game since Feb. 6 — also against Brooklyn — despite dealing with several injuries.

Robert Covington finished with 12 points for the 76ers before exiting with 9:40 left in the third quarter.
