PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Quentin Grimes scored a season-high 28 points and the Philadelphia 76ers held on for a 104-97 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday in a game they led by as many as 28.

Danny Wolf had 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Nets, who were without leading scorer Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) and lost their third straight game. Josh Minott added 14 points.
