PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 31 (UPI) -- The New York Nets, bolstered by Brook Lopez's 24 points and 17 rebounds Saturday, erased a 17-point second-half deficit to beat Philadelphia 85-83.

The 76ers missed their last 18 shots from the field while scoring only eight points in the fourth quarter. Royal Ivey's potential game-winning three-pointer from the corner was batted away by Devin Harris, who scored 17 points.

Keyon Dooling and Jarvis Hayes each had 11 points off the bench for New Jersey, which ended a three-game losing streak.

Andre Miller had 19 points, seven rebounds and seven assists for Philadelphia, which had won 10 of its previous 12 games. Andre Iguodala added 18 points for the 76ers.
