PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 30 (UPI) -- Andre Iguodala's 19 points Friday led six players in double figures who carried Philadelphia to a 99-86 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.

His 12 points led a 35-20 third quarter, including a 10-0 run, erasing a 47-41 halftime deficit. The shooting guard also had nine rebounds and seven assists.

Iguodala made up for a miserable eight-point output in Philadelphia's 120-106 season-opening loss at Orlando Wednesday.

Elton Brand had 17 points, six rebounds and three steals. Lou Williams scored 16, Thaddeus Young 13, Jason Kapono 10, while Samuel Dalembert scored 10 with 12 rebounds for the 76ers, who won their home opener for new Coach Eddie Jordan.

Michael Redd and Brandon Jennings led Milwaukee with 17 points apiece. Jennings also had nine rebounds and nine assists.

Ersan Ilyasova, the only other player in double figures, had 11 points with four rebounds for the Bucks, who have missed the post-season the last three seasons.
