76ers 99, Jazz 93: Jrue Holiday scored 18 of his team-high 26 points in the first half and finished with seven assists as Philadelphia added to Utah's road woes.

Jason Richardson shot 5-of-7 from 3-point range en route to 20 points for the 76ers, who snapped a two-game losing skid with their second home victory in nine outings.

Utah's Paul Millsap shot 9-of-14 from the field for a team-high 22 points. DeMarre Carroll added 17 off the bench for the Jazz, who fell to 1-6 away from Salt Lake City.

Utah answered Philadelphia's 11-2 run with a 9-2 streak of its own to trim the 76ers' lead to 86-82, but a pair of layups by Holiday ignited an 8-0 run to seal the victory.

Prior to the game, Philadelphia's Andrew Bynum stood in front of his locker and admitted that he experienced a setback in both knees. Acquired in a four-team trade prior to the season, Bynum has seen his return date pushed back on three occasions since the beginning of training camp.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Holiday was 8-of-10 from the field during the first half. He struggled in the second by missing his first nine shots. ... Utah's Derrick Favors, who had eight points, failed to reach double digits for the second time in seven contests ... Philadelphia's first-quarter total of 30 points were the most that it scored in an opening frame this season.
