PHILADELPHIA — Spencer Dinwiddie scored the go-ahead bucket with 90 seconds left in the game and had a triple-double to lead the Washington Wizards to a 106-103 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night.

Dinwiddie had 14 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. Kyle Kuzma scored 24 points and the Wizards snapped a six-game losing streak.

Montrezl Harrell hit a 16-footer for a 102-98 lead and blew kisses to the Philly crowd as he headed into a timeout. The Wizards won with Bradley Beal sidelined at least a week with an injured left wrist.

Joel Embiid had 27 points and 14 rebounds for the Sixers but missed a couple of gimmes late that could have changed the game.

Danny Green hit a 3 for the Sixers with 1.6 seconds left that pulled them to 104-103. The Wizards sealed it from the line.

Tyrese Maxey scored 22 points for the Sixers.
