 PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Another one of Dallas' big leads turned this one into a snoozer early. Only coach Avery Johnson didn't expect his team to be the one that went to sleep. Once Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry snapped the Mavs out of their 10-minute funk, they had the easy win they were coasting toward against the woeful 76ers..
Nowitzki had 24 points and 11 rebounds, and the Mavericks built on their NBA-best road record with a 106-89 victory over Philadelphia on Sunday night.
Terry hit consecutive jumpers in the fourth quarter to help the Mavs stave off a surprising Sixers rally that saw them slice a 30-point deficit down to only eight. Nowitzki also added back-to-back baskets that pushed the lead back to 14 and helped Dallas to its 18th road win of the season.
