NEW ORLEANS — Ersan Ilyasova scored 23 points, Sergio Rodriguez added 16 and the Philadelphia 76ers snapped a franchise record-tying 23-game road losing streak Thursday night, beating the reeling New Orleans Pelicans, 99-88.

The Pelicans became the first team to lose at home to the Sixers since last season, when Orlando fell to Philadelphia on Jan. 20.

Joel Embiid had 14 points and blocked four shots to go with three steals for Philadelphia, which arrived in New Orleans on an eight-game skid and had lost all seven of its road games this season. Nik Stauskas also scored 14 points, hitting 5 of 7 shots.

Anthony Davis had 26 points and 11 rebounds, and Langston Galloway added 19 points for New Orleans.

GRIZZLIES 88, TRAIL BLAZERS 86: Marc Gasol scored 36 points and Toney Douglas made two free throws with less than a second left to give Memphis a comeback victory at home.

Douglas finished with 11 points, scoring the game’s final six points to seal Memphis’ fifth straight victory.

WIZARDS 92, NUGGETS 85: Overcoming a sluggish start in front of a sparse, silent crowd and with a malfunctioning scoreboard, Washington came back at home, thanks mainly to Bradley Beal’s 26 points and Denver’s season-high 29 turnovers.

John Wall scored only 15 points, one game after a career-best 52 for Washington.

RAPTORS 124, TIMBERWOLVES 110: DeMar DeRozan had 27 points, Kyle Lowry added 25 and the Raptors handed Minnesota its 13th straight loss in Toronto.

NOTES

GRIZZLIES: Memphis signed General Manager Chris Wallace to a multiyear extension.
