Philadelphia snapped a three-game losing streak with a 104-84 win over New York on Wednesday night, finishing 3-4 in a stretch of seven straight home games spanning the All-Star break. The 76ers will now try to win consecutive road games for just the second time this season.
Kyle Korver continues to nurse injuries to his feet, but came off the bench to match a career high with 31 points against the Knicks. He shot 6-for-7 from 3-point range and 11-of-14 overall from the field.
"We all know that Kyle has the ability to make shots like that and when he does that, it opens up the game," Philadelphia coach Maurice Cheeks said.
Korver said rest over the break helped his feet, though they started feeling sore again in the second half against the Knicks.
"It's something I can deal with the rest of the season," said Korver, who is averaging 14.4 points and shooting 43.7 percent from beyond the arc.
Sixers leading scorer Andre Iguodala was held to 10 points on 1-of-9 shooting Wednesday. He has scored under 20 points in two straight games after topping that mark in each of his previous six contests.
Philadelphia lost 89-83 in Charlotte on Jan. 13, and is 1-3 all-time on the road against the Bobcats.
