PHILADELPHIA(AP) -- Andre Iguodala went back to basic for the
Philadelphia 76ers.

Two nights after missing 17 shots, including all seven of his
3-pointers, and finishing 5 for 22 in a loss to New York,
Iguodala responded in a big way this time by driving to the
basket against New Jersey.

Iguodala scored 20 points, Jrue Holiday added 19 points, seven
rebounds and seven assists and the Philadelphia snapped a
five-game losing streak with a 108-97 victory over the Nets on
Wednesday night.

"I tried to set the tone early by being aggressive," said
Iguodala, who was 7 of 14 from the field and 6 of 7 on free
throws.

Je also had eight assists and four rebounds.

"I was looking for my spots on the floor and where to attack and
where to look for my open teammates," Iguodala said. "I wanted
to get to the basket whenever I could."

Elton Brand added 12 points, and Lou Williams, Willie Green and
Rodney Carney had 11 each to help the 76ers improve to 24-44
with their second victory in 12 games. Philadelphia shot 56
percent from the field and completed a 4-0 sweep of the Nets for
the first time in 33 years.

"This was a scary game for us," Brand said. "Their record was
not indicative of the type of talent they have. We knew we had
to have this game."

Chris Douglas-Roberts led the Nets (7-61) with 23 points, Keyon
Dooling added 15 and Terrence Williams had 13. Brook Lopez and
Jarvis Hayes also scored 12 apiece, and Kris Humphries had 10.
New Jersey needs to win three of its last 14 games to avoid the
NBA record for fewest victories set by the 1972-73 76ers when
they went 9-73.

"We just have to stay competitive and keep the pressure on,"
Nets acting coach Kiki Vandeweghe said.

Magic Johnson watched from a front-row seat as two of the worst
teams in the league played in the half-empty arena. The Hall of
Famer will be a guest speaker at the University of
Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business on Thursday.

"You have to find positives no matter what," Douglas-Roberts
said. "You have to realize it's just one season and our goal
should be not to get that record."

The 76ers quickly extended a 13-point lead to 17 early in the
fourth with consecutive baskets by Brand and Williams, giving
them an 89-72 lead.

New Jersey never got within single digits the rest of the way.

"We wanted to put them away," Brand said. "We didn't want them
to get close enough in the fourth."

After the Sixers built a 79-57 lead, the Nets outscored
Philadelphia 11-2, with Douglas-Roberts scoring nine points to
cut it to 81-68 after the third.

NOTES: The Nets played without G Devin Harris (upper respiratory
infection) and F Yi Jianlian (sprained left ankle). Thaddeus
Young (fractured right thumb) and F-C Marreese Speights
(sprained right knee) sat out for the Sixers. ... The Nets made
their first 23 free throws.
