PHILADELPHIA -- Carl Landry scored 22 points to lead Philadelphia to a 107-93 victory over the injury-depleted New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night, ensuring that the 76ers won't tie their league record for fewest victories in an 82-game season.

Philadelphia improved to 10-68 and is one win clear of the 1972-73 76ers, who set an NBA mark for futility with a 9-73 mark. The 76ers have four games remaining.

Isaiah Canaan added 16 points for the 76ers, who snapped a 12-game losing streak and won for just the second time in the last 27 contests.

Landry made his first nine shots before finishing 9-for-10 from the field, including tying a career high with two 3-pointers.

Dante Cunningham led the Pelicans with 19 points, and Alexis Ajinca chipped in 12 points and 10 rebounds.

The game had more of a D-League feel to it.

The Pelicans started five players who have combined to start just 76 games this season. And only Tim Frazier, whom the Pelicans signed on March 16, entered averaging more than 7.6 points. Joining Frazier in New Orleans' starting five were Luke Babbitt, Toney Douglas, Ajinca and Cunningham.
