Andre Iguodala and the Philadelphia 76ers did just enough to win.

With the Sixers still stinging from a 31-point loss three nights earlier, that was just fine by them.

Iguodala scored 16 points, including a late 3-pointer to give Philadelphia the lead, and knocked the ball away from Terrence Williams' hands before the Nets could attempt a tying shot to give the 76ers a 97-94 win over New Jersey on Friday night.

"I wish we could have played better," Iguodala said. "We'll still take the win. It counts."

Lou Williams scored 18 points and Jason Kapono had 14 for Philadelphia, which rebounded from a 31-point loss to Boston three days earlier.

Brook Lopez led the Nets with 22 points and 11 rebounds while Trenton Hassell had 17 points and 12 rebounds. New Jersey fell to 0-6, the worst start in franchise history.

The Nets were without six players due to injury and had only a four-man bench.

"You go with what you got," Nets coach Lawrence Frank said. "It's not a sympathy league."

After Lopez tied the game at 92 with a pair of free throws, Iguodala made a 3-pointer to put the 76ers up with 2:03 left.

New Jersey lost guard Courtney Lee early in the third quarter with an apparent leg injury. The Nets were already missing guards Keyon Dooling (hip surgery), Chris Douglas-Roberts (flu), and Devin Harris (strained right groin); as well as forwards Tony Battie (right knee), Yi Jianlian (sprained right knee) and Jarvis Hayes (strained left hamstring).

New Jersey built a 73-65 lead with 1:51 left in the third quarter and carried it into the fourth quarter. Continued...
