PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia 76ers were 3-13 and another lost season appeared on the horizon.
The Sixers have since become one of the best teams in the NBA.
Elton Brand has rediscovered his old double-double form, Andre Iguodala has developed into a well-rounded player and the reserves are winning games late in the fourth quarter.
The Sixers, 30-29 heading into Tuesday’s game against Dallas, are 27-16 since Nov. 26, and are tied for the seventh-highest winning percentage (.628) of any team in the league over that span.
Philadelphia is above .500 for the first time since it was 3-2 in 2009-10. The Sixers have won 13 of their past 17 games, including six of the past seven.
