The Washington Wizards (33 - 35) barely held on for a road win over the Philadelphia 76ers (9 - 59) Thursday night at Wells Fargo Center, 99 - 94. Washington coasted into halftime with a 58 - 39 lead and extended the gap to as many as 24 points in the third quarter. The Sixers slowly chipped away as the Wizards left off the gas in the second half, as they sliced the gap in half by the end of the third quarter. Trailing 78 - 63, Philadelphia went on a 21 - 6 run to tie the game with 4:25 to go. But John Wall made sure the Wizards kept the lead, as he scored 10 of Washington's 15 points down the stretch and assisted on two more as Philadelphia's comeback bid fell short. Six players finished in double figures for the Wizards, including Wall. The Wizards point guard notched a triple double with 16 points, 14 assists and 13 rebounds, but it was hardly a flawless performance - - he missed 13 shots (4 - 17) and turned the ball over nine times. Marcus Thornton led the Wizards with 18 points off the bench, and Gortat added a double - double with 16 points (8 - 10 FG) and 13 rebounds. The Wizards won despite shooting a brutal 6 - 27 (22 percent) from the three - point line. Ish Smith's 20 points (9 - 25 FG) for Philadelphia led all scorers, and he added seven assists, three steals and two rebounds. Nerlens Noel scored 14 points and added 16 rebounds and seven steals as he was active all game. Hollis Thompson made 15 points but shot just 5 - 15 and 3 - 11 from three - point land. The Sixers as a whole could n't buy a bucket - - they managed just 39 percent from the floor and 6 - 33 (18 percent) from deep. The Wizards return home to host the Knicks on Saturday. The Sixers welcome the Thunder for a Friday matchup in Philadelphia.
