LOS ANGELES -- The postgame whoops and hollers from the visitors locker room were audible through two closed doors after the Philadelphia 76ers capitalized on their final chance in 2013 to end their 13-game road losing streak. Kelechi Osemele Jersey . Thaddeus Young scored seven of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, Evan Turner added 22 points, and the 76ers hung on for their first road win since Nov. 1, beating the depleted Los Angeles Lakers 111-104 on Sunday night. Spencer Hawes had 19 points and eight rebounds, while Young and Michael Carter-Williams contributed big points down the stretch as the last-place Sixers held on for just their second win in 11 games overall. "You keep hammering the rock, and one day its going to split," Philadelphia coach Brett Brown said. "Tonight it split." The Lakers are a shadow of their traditional selves these days, with Pau Gasol joining Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash on the sidelines for this meeting. That didnt dampen the Sixers enthusiasm after doubling their road win total in the second game of a back-to-back set. Philadelphia had lost 19 of 23 since its unlikely 4-2 start to the season. "Wins from time to time help validate the work that everybody is putting in," Brown said. "If theres such a thing as deserving something, I think they deserved it." Philadelphia went up 104-99 with 1:44 to play on a layup by Young, who added a three-point play on the next possession. Jordan Farmars 3-pointer with 55 seconds left cut the Sixers lead to three points, but Shawne Williams missed an open 3-pointer that could have tied it, and Carter-Williams hit two late free throws to secure Philadelphias second straight road win over the Lakers. "Its definitely a great way to close out the year," Young said. "Weve been playing hard all season long. Our record doesnt say were going out there and doing the job, but were working to get better every time." Nick Young scored 26 points on 6-for-21 shooting in the Lakers fifth consecutive loss. Los Angeles also has lost five of six at Staples Center, winning just once at home since Nov. 24. Gasol missed his second straight game with a respiratory infection for the Lakers, who already were without Bryant, Nash and Steve Blake. Chris Kaman suited up despite limited movement on his injured ankle, and Jordan Hill contributed 18 points and 13 rebounds while starting at centre. Los Angeles then lost swingman Xavier Henry to a strained right knee in the first quarter. Henry recently filled in at point guard while Bryant and the Lakers top three point guards were injured. "We had guys battling, but we just dont have enough right now," Lakers coach Mike DAntoni said. "Its tough to gauge where we are because we dont quite know what were going to get when we get out there. ... Weve got to turn the corner somehow. Weve got to get a couple of breaks and get some momentum going." Two days after the Lakers lost to Utah, the Western Conferences last-place team, Los Angeles lost to another one of the NBAs worst. Injuries are an undeniable factor, but the Lakers 22 turnovers and 37-per cent shooting might have been topics of general manager Mitch Kupchaks meeting with DAntoni after the game. Jodie Meeks scored 15 points as the Lakers used their 16th starting lineup in 31 games, including seven straight games with a new starting five since Bryant broke a bone near his knee. "Weve just got to go out there and find ourselves again," Nick Young said. "We have to bring our energy and just have fun. Weve been worrying too much out there. Its tough trying to get wins, but we have to fight. We cant fight with ourselves and be down on ourselves. This is the time we have to stay together the most. We need to be a team right now more than anything." Henry will have an MRI exam Monday. In his absence, recent D-League call-up Kendall Marshall stepped in as Farmars backup at point guard, contributing eight points and three assists. NOTES: After the Sixers missed nine of their first 10 shots in the first quarter, the Lakers promptly missed nine of their next 10. ... Nick Young spent last season with Philadelphia, averaging 10.6 points while largely coming off the bench. He left as a free agent to join his favourite boyhood team in his native Los Angeles. ... The Lakers are one of just four Western Conference teams with a losing record at home.

The announcement from Rutgers President Robert Barchi, who said there was a "miscommunication" about the speeches, is the latest development in a strange saga surrounding the May 18 ceremony. The New Jersey university initially announced that former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice would give the keynote address, and school officials maintained that she would not be "disinvited" as some students and faculty protested her selection, including holding a sit-in last week.PHOENIX -- The Arizona Diamondbacks have acquired closer Addison Reed from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for third base prospect Matt Davidson.
