The Philadelphia 76ers were able to pick up a 130-125 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday afternoon to begin a 6-game road trip. The win snapped a 3-game losing skid and brought Philadelphia to within five games of the Chicago Bulls for the final play-in spot in the East with 15 games to play.

P.J. Washington returned by scoring Dallas' first six points, but Philadelphia had the hot start offensively, as Guerschon Yabusele and Quentin Grimes helped them build an 11-6 lead. But a 6-0 run by the Mavs, with two straight buckets from Washington, a few minutes later put Dallas in front.

Quentin Grimes scored 28 points in his first game against his former team and the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Dallas Mavericks 130-125 in a matchup of injury-depleted clubs.
