PHILADELPHIA — Andre Iguodala scored 21 points and the Philadelphia 76ers extended their winning streak to a season-high four games with a 99–86 victory over the Nets yesterday.

Willie Green and Kyle Korver each scored 20 points for the Sixers, who rallied from a 17-point deficit in the first quarter for their biggest comeback victory of the season.

Once 19 games under .500 on January 21, the Sixers have gone a respectable 11–8 since then and are playing with a confidence and chemistry sorely lacking when they had Allen Iverson and Chris Webber. All four wins on this streak have come at the Wachovia Center, where they are only one game under .500 (14–15), have a five-game win streak, and will play two more times this week.

Jason Kidd posted his 85th career triple-double with 11 points, 14 assists, and 14 rebounds. The 10 triple-doubles this year are the most for Kidd in any season. Bostjan Nachbar scored 21 points for the Nets, who blew this one a day after an overtime loss to Boston.

Vince Carter missed his final 14 shots and finished with only nine points.

The Nets seemed as if they put that loss to Boston behind them in a hurry, opening a 24–7 lead against the Sixers. When Kidd hit a 20-footer during the spurt for his second basket, it gave him one more than he had against the Celtics.

Carter and the Nets wilted while Korver came off the bench and sparked a Sixers’ run. They hit 22 of 31 shots and wiped out the deficit.

Louis Williams, another reserve, and Korver hit 3s early in the second quarter that pulled the Sixers within four. Then Korver hit a 3 that put them ahead 36–33 and Williams slipped underneath three defenders for a rebound and basket that made it a five-point game and the resurgent Sixers never trailed again.

After making all four 3-pointers in the first half while building a 49–43 lead, the 76ers didn’t hit one in the third quarter, but shot 57%. This time it was Green leading the way with six baskets and 12 points. His turnaround jumper late in the third made it 72–53.

That gave the Sixers a 65–29 run since they trailed by 19. Green scored 18 points in the second half. Andre Miller had 11 points and 12 assists, and Joe Smith added 11 points and 10 rebounds.

The Nets had seen it all before. The Sixers rallied from double digits to beat the Nets here in early February.

New Jersey went on a run of its own, and Eddie House hit a 3 that pulled them to 80–70 in the fourth. But Korver responded with another 3-pointer that pushed the lead back to 13 and gave the fans in another awful crowd a reason to feel good about the rest of the season.
