Sixers Lose Fourth Straight, 112-96 To The Suns

PHOENIX (AP) — Gerald Green and Markieff Morris each scored 21 points and the Phoenix Suns pulled away in the fourth quarter to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 112-96 on Friday night.

After the Suns struggling against the NBA-worst Sixers, Green hit a 3-pointer in an 11-2 run to start the fourth and Phoenix took control to snap a two-game losing streak.

Tony Wroten scored 28 points for the Sixers, who trailed 80-79 with a minute left in the third quarter. But a poor final period sent them to their 27th loss in 31 games.

There was an NBA first late in the game when Markieff and Marcus Morris played with teammates Goran and Zoran Dragic for the Suns. It was the first time two sets of brothers played for a team at the same time.
