While the 76ers won and ended their eight - game losing streak , they by no means put together a perfect performance . In fact , the game 's result simply came down to the fact that even in spots where Philadelphia struggled , the Pelicans somehow found a way to be worse . The 76ers shot a fairly poor 43 percent overall from the field , while the Pelicans managed to shoot just 39 percent . Philadelphia struggled to make it to the free throw line , shooting just 13 attempts and only making nine of them ( 69 percent ) . And while New Orleans did get to the line more often , shooting 25 shots from the charity stripe , they made just 68 percent of those . Where the Pelicans excelled was in taking care of the basketball , committing just 12 turnovers on the night , but the 76ers still found a way to be better there , committing just 10 turnovers . The 76ers defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 99 - 88 Thursday at Smoothie King Center . The 76ers ( 5 - 18 ) used a dominant second half to pull away from the Pelicans ( 7 - 16 ) and end their eight - game winning streak . Philadelphia was once again led by Ersan Ilyasova , who scored a team - high 23 points on top of eight rebounds and four assists . Point guard Sergio Rodriguez had 16 points and eight assists , while Joel Embiid , who played after having two of the last three games off , scored 15 points and grabbed seven rebounds . And while the starters had a solid evening for the 76ers , it was their bench that really put them over the top , as the reserves combined to score 37 points Thursday night . Meanwhile , it was another night to forget for the Pelicans , as the absence of both Jrue Holiday and E'Twaun Moore due to toe injuries ended up being too much for this offensively - challenged New Orleans team . Anthony Davis led the way for the team , but scored an underwhelming - - by his standards - - 26 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in 41 minutes . The only other Pelicans player to score in double figures was Langston Galloway , who scored 19 points off the bench in 26 minutes . The other seven New Orleans players who saw action Thursday managed to combine to score just 43 points . With the loss , the Pelicans extended their losing streak to four games and they have now lost six of their last seven . Up next , the 76ers will look to earn their second winning streak of the season against the Pistons on Sunday , while the Pelicans will head to Los Angeles on Saturday to take on the Clippers .
