PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 17 (UPI) -- Lou Williams scored all of Philadelphia's points in a game-closing, 7-2 run Wednesday that brought the 76ers a 93-88 victory over Milwaukee.

Williams scored a career-high 25 points to make up for the absence of Elton Brand, who dislocated his right shoulder during the third period when he collided with Milwaukee's Luc Mbah a Moute.

Doctors were able to pop Brand's shoulder back in place, but he did not return after the incident.

Andre Miller added 19 points for the 76ers, who won their second straight since Tony DiLeo took over as interim coach following the dismissal of Maurice Cheeks.

Williams gave Philadelphia the lead for good at 88-86 by making a layup with 3:26 to play.

Milwaukee was led by 14 points each from Luke Ridnour and Charlie Bell.
