NBA Game Summary - Brooklyn at Philadelphia

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Thaddeus Young had 21 points and nine rebounds against his former team and the Brooklyn Nets defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 94-87 on Saturday night.

Joe Johnson netted 15 points and Jarrett Jack added 12 points and eight assists for the Nets, who snapped a five-game losing streak.

"It's hard to win in this league and hard to win on the road. And the way we've been struggling, it's a big win," Nets coach Lionel Hollins said.

Nerlens Noel posted 17 points and seven boards and Isaiah Cannon supplied 13 points for Philadelphia, which shot just 37.2 percent from the floor.

"They're a prideful team, a veteran team, a well-coached team and we just weren't able to find a way to close the game out," Sixers coach Brett Brown said.

The Sixers trailed 79-68 at the 8:57 mark of the fourth before storming back with a 17-8 run. Noel scored the final seven points of the surge, which was capped when he threw down an alley-oop to trim the gap to 87-85 with 3:36 left.

Brooklyn, though, netted the next six points to regain control

Deron Williams nailed a pull-up jumper, Brook Lopez sunk a pair of free throws and Young flipped in a hook shot to stake the Nets to a 93-85 cushion with 1:19 remaining.
