These 76ers are relieved not to be part of history. Carl Landry scored 22 points to lead Philadelphia to Dexter Manley Jerseya 107-93 victory over the injury-depleted New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night, ensuring that the 76ers won't tie their own league record for fewest victories in an 82-game season. ''We didn't want to be a part of that,'' Landry said. ''We tried to do whatever it took to lock in, in practice, in film sessions and just have a carryover to each and every game.'' Philadelphia improved to 10-68 and now is one win clear of the 1972-73 76ers, who set an NBA mark http://www.redskinsshopnfl.com/Authentic-Doug-Williams-Jerseyfor futility with a 9-73 mark. The 76ers have four games remaining. ''We hope to get a few more before our season ends,'' Philadelphia coach Brett Brown said, adding he was happy for his players. ''They're good people, http://www.redskinsshopnfl.com/Authentic-Duke-Ihenacho-Jerseythey genuinely care (and) they put in a fantastic day's work,'' he said. ''Our record wouldn't indicate that, but they do. And so to get a win and just move on, they deserve that.'' Isaiah Canaan added 16 points for the 76ers, who snapped a 12-game losing streak while winning for just the second time in the last 27 contests. Landry made his first nine shots before finishing Clive Walford Jersey9 for 10 from the field, including tying a career high with two 3-pointers. Dante Cunningham led the Pelicans with 19 points and Alexis Ajinca chipped in 12 points and 10 rebounds. The game http://www.raidersnflprostore.com/Authentic-Curtis-Lofton-Jerseyhad more of a D-League feel to it. The Pelicans started five players who have combined to start just 76 games this season. And only Tim Frazier, whom the Pelicans signed on March 16, entered averaging more than 7.6 points. Joining Frazier in New Orleans' starting five were Luke Babbitt, Toney Douglas, Ajinca and Cunningham.
