PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 27 (UPI) -- The backcourt combination of Mike Bibby and Jamal Crawford teamed for 45 points and 10 assists Friday in leading Atlanta past Philadelphia 100-86.

The Hawks bounced back from their first two-game losing streak of the season. The 76ers have dropped five straight and seven out of eight.

Crawford scored 24 points with five assists, Bibby had 21 and Josh Smith contributed 20. Atlanta led by only three early in the fourth period before going on a 7-0 run capped by a hook shot from Al Horford.

Thaddeus Young paced Philadelphia with 22 points and Andre Iguodala had 16.

Philadelphia forward Elton Brand missed his second straight game with a hamstring injury. The Hawks won for just the third time in 11 trips to Philadelphia.
