PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Tobias Harris had 37 points, Tyrese Maxey added 21 and the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Sacramento Kings 112-93 on Friday night end a three-game losing streak.

Reigning NBA MVP Joel Embiid missed his third straight game for Philadelphia because of soreness in his left knee.

Harris scored 14 points in the first period, his most in any quarter this season, and never slowed down. It was the most points he’s scored in a regular-season game in six seasons with Philadelphia, and his most since a career high with 39 for the Los Angeles Clippers in December 2018 against Portland.

ATLANTA (AP) — Buddy Hield and Obi Toppin each scored 18 points and Indiana overcame star Tyrese Haliburton’s absence with balanced scoring to beat Atlanta for its ninth victory in 10 games.

Haliburton, the NBA assists leader, missed his second straight game because of a strained left hamstring.

Indiana scored at least 150 points while winning each of its first two games of the season against Atlanta, including a 150-116 rout on Jan. 5 at Indianapolis. On Friday, the Pacers had eight players in double figures and shot a season-high 67.1%.

Dejounte Murray led Atlanta with 29 points.

ROCKETS 112, PISTONS 110

DETROIT (AP) — Fred VanVleet scored 17 of his 20 points in the second half and Houston handed Detroit its seventh straight loss.

Detroit is 1-35 after a 2-1 start, including an NBA-record matching 28-game losing streak. The current streak started with a 136-113 loss to Houston. Jaden Ivey had an open look at a 3-pointer with three seconds left, but it went in and out.

Alperen Sengun scored 29 points and Jalen Green added 28 for Houston. VanVleet also had 12 assists. Alec Burks and Kevin Knox II had 19 points for Detroit.
