PHILADELPHIA -- Evan Turner hit the winning basket at the buzzer and scored 29 points to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a 121-120, overtime win over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night. Paul Pierce hit a 3-pointer with 16.9 seconds left in OT to give the Nets the short-lived lead. Turner, sensational all game, drove past a pair of defenders and tossed up the last-gasp shot. The ball bounced three times around the rim before it dropped through the net. After a brief review, the bucket stood, Turner was mobbed by his teammates and the Sixers snapped a seven-game losing streak. Thaddeus Young scored 25 points for the Sixers, and Michael Carter-Williams had 15 points and 10 assists. Alan Anderson had a season-high 26 points for the Nets, Pierce scored 24 with 10 rebounds, and Deron Williams had 17 points and 14 assists. Brooklyn grabbed a 115-113 lead early in OT after Turner and Pierce swapped 3-pointers. Carter-Williams hit two free throws for a 116-115 lead, then had the assist to Young in front of Brooklyns bench on a 3-pointer with 2:02 left. The 76ers missed three shots on the same possession, setting up Pierces clutch 3, Brooklyns 15th of the game. Turned out, the Sixers had one last dramatic shot of their own. Turners 13th basket of the game was his biggest of the season, and he was mobbed on the court by a Sixers team buried well below .500. Carter-Williams returned after a seven-game absence because of a skin infection and teamed with Tony Wroten in the backcourt for an effective 1-2 punch. Wroten scored 19 points. Thanks to OT, the Sixers finished with season highs in field goals (51) and assists (36). Mirza Teletovic hit 6 3s and scored 18 points for the Nets. Brook Lopez had 22 points. The Nets played without veterans Joe Johnson (personal reasons) and Kevin Garnett (rest). Without their veterans, the Nets missed twice on one of the final possessions of regulation and the Sixers grabbed the rebound. Philadelphia rookie coach Brett Brown called timeout with 21.1 seconds left, setting up Carter-Williams drive down the lane. He beat Williams to the basket, but ended with a wild misfire on a left-handed layup over Lopez. Brooklyn grabbed the rebound and called timeout. Williams missed at the horn over Youngs outstretched arm to send it into OT. Neither team could break away in the fourth. Young hit a mid-range jumper from the top of the key with 1:58 left for a 107-106 lead. Anderson snatched it right back on two free throws -- a lopsided edge for the Nets. The Nets made 21 of 30 free throws; the 76ers just 10 of 15. Turner, who made his first eight shots from the floor, hit only the front end on a pair of attempts, but tied the game 108-all. The Nets struggled to build a small lead for most of the quarter. They botched an alley-oop and Williams had the ball slip out of his hands on a layup attempt. Still, all five starters hit double-digit scoring in regulation, and Williams had a double-double. Anderson, who averages only 8.0 points, connected on a pair of 3s during a 10-1 run late in the third that sent the Nets into the fourth with an 83-82 lead. Johnson made 10 3-pointers, most in the NBA this season, and scored a season-high 37 points in the Nets 130-94 victory over the Sixers on Monday night. With Johnson out, Teletovic took over as Brooklyns 3-point ace, hitting five in the first half against one of the worst-defending teams in the league. He nearly did as much damage alone from 3-point range as the Sixers did as a team. NOTES: Wroten has started all games Carter-Williams has missed this season. ...

"Of course, Id really like to be in Sochi," Galchenyuk said this week from USA Hockeys Olympic orientation camp in northern Virginia. "That would be the best, thats obviously my first choice, but well see." Galchenyuk was one of 48 invitees to the United States orientation camp which concluded Tuesday at the Washington Capitals training facility. Given his age -- he is the youngest of the 24 forwards on the Americans preliminary roster -- he is also among the most intriguing. Galchenyuk turns 20 on Feb. 12, the first day of the Mens Hockey tournament at the 2014 Sochi Games. The United States opens their tournament one day later against Slovakia and Galchenyuk is hopeful that he will be there. "Obviously there are a lot of talented guys here, but I think that Im a skilled guy, I can make plays and I think thats always a huge thing on the (larger international ice surface)," he said. "Also Im versatile and can play either wing or centre so that shouldnt be an issue." Galchenyuk is coming off an impressive rookie campaign with the Canadiens, where he scored nine goals and added 18 assists while appearing in all 48 games. He also won a gold medal with the U.S. at the 2013 world junior championship in January and a bronze medal at the world championship in May. "Hes one of those X-factor kind-of-players," said Colorado Avalanche forward Paul Stasny, who played alongside Galchenyuk at the world championship. "Hes a special talent and I think that hes probably one of the more skilled guys here. Im not sure if thats because of the Russian background or not but hes a good skater and just a natural goal scorer." The son of Russian parents, Galchenyuk was born in Wisconsin while his father Alexander was playing minor league hockey in the U.S. Four years later, the senior Galchenyuk played for Belarus at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan. "He told me that it was a great experience to play against the best players from around the world and that its different from the world juniors or world championships," Galchenyuk said.dddddddddddd. "You see not just hockey players at the Olympics but all the athletes from all the sports so hes said that it was a unique experience." Galchenyuk, who spent his childhood living in the U.S., Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Russia while his father played professionally, says that the decision to represent the U.S. internationally was ultimately his and he credits USA Hockeys national program in part for his development. "I feel like the media and everyone made it a big deal, but for me when it came to Russia or the U.S., it was an easy decision," he said. "For me, I always wanted to play for the States and I guess I understand (the debate) because my family is Russian, but it wasnt a tough decision for me." Now Galchenyuk says he hopes to make it difficult for U.S. general manager David Poile to leave him off the Americans Olympic roster, which is expected to be announced Jan. 1. The consensus around the U.S. orientation camp was that despite Galchenyuk still being a teenager -- one of only three invited to the camp along with defencemen Seth Jones and Jacob Trouba -- he has the maturity of a veteran. "Hes got tremendous poise as a 19-year-old and we saw it at the world championships when the (bronze medal) game was on the line and he scores twice in the shootout," said Stasny. "Hes got nerves of steel and hes only going to grow as a player. For some guys playing in Montreal is a tough environment, especially at that age, but for him, hes shown that hes ready for it and I think you can expect great things from him." Canadiens teammate Max Pacioretty also points to Galchenyuks maturity as a potential strength heading into the Olympics. "Its a short tournament in a different country, new teammates. a Its a lot of quick adjustments," Pacioretty said. "But hes shown that he can deal with adversity at a young age and that should help him. Whether it be recovering from (a torn ACL in 2012) or whether it be overcoming a mid-season slump and being able to break out of it, that adversity is probably going to make him stronger moving forward in the future. Its good to see that (USA Hockey) and the hockey world think so highly of him already."
