SALT LAKE CITY (AP) --- VJ Edgecombe had 22 points and 13 rebounds and Quentin
Grimes scored 26 points to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a 126-116 victory
over the Utah Jazz on Saturday night.
Trendon Watford had 20 points and nine rebounds, and Adem Bona and Cameron
Payne each had 16 points --- with Payne adding seven assists --- for the 76ers,
who won for the fourth time in five games.
Philadelphia overcame 17 turnovers and outscored the Jazz 74-52 in the paint.
Ace Bailey led Utah with 25 points, seven rebounds, and a season-high five
blocks. Kennedy Chandler added 19 points in his debut after signing a 10-day
contract with the Jazz earlier Saturday. Elijah Harkless had 15 points, five
assists and a season-high five steals. Bez Mbeng had 13 points, seven assists
and six rebounds in his first career start.
After Utah took the lead on a three-point play by John Konchar, Philadelphia
went on a 12-2 run capped by Edgecombe's running dunk to go ahead 118-110 with
2:35 left.
Back-to-back baskets from Kyle Filipowski sparked a 15-2 run that gave Utah a
72-64 lead a minute into the second half. Philadelphia erased the deficit later
in the third quarter and took an 80-76 lead when Bona bookended a 16-4 run with
a pair of dunks.
