PHILADELPHIA -- Kevin Garnett scored 10 points in his first game in more than five weeks to help the Brooklyn Nets beat the Philadelphia 76ers 105-101 Saturday night. The 37-year-old Garnett missed 19 straight games since Feb. 27 because of back spasms. The Nets went 14-5 over that span. Garnett was back in the starting lineup and was sharp from the start. He scored on an alley-oop in the first quarter, made his first four shots, and had a nasty block on Michael Carter-Williams layup attempt that knocked the rookie guard to the ground. Garnett also passed Alex English to move into 14th on the NBAs career scoring list. Coach Jason Kidd limited Garnetts minutes and the veteran centre did not play in the fourth quarter. Deron Williams had 19 points and Mason Plumlee 16 for the Nets. Thaddeus Young led the Sixers with 20 points. The Sixers, who had won two of four after losing 26 straight games, sliced a 21-point hole down to two after Henry Sims put back Carter-Williams miss on his second free-throw attempt. With a chance to tie the game at 96-all on the next possession, Carter-Williams made 1 of 2 with 1:05 left. Mirza Teletovics first bucket of the game was a 3-pointer with 48.4 seconds left that gave the Nets some breathing room. With starters Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce and Garnett on the bench, Williams helped the Nets seal the win from the line Garnett was loose and all smiles in the pregame layup line, slapping hands and offering encouragement to his teammates. Pierce took on Garnett in a brief 1-on-1 battle, and yelled "Welcome back!" as he blew by him to toward the basket. Garnett is the no longer the dominant All-Star of his Minnesota and Boston days, averaging 6.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 21 minutes in 49 games this season. But the layoff may help boost the life left in his legs that will be needed if the Nets are going to make any type of playoff run. Garnett and Pierce turned back the clock on consecutive scores in the second -- Garnetts big dunk was followed by Pierces 3-pointer for a 13-point lead. The Nets led by as many as 21 before the Sixers made their run late in the fourth. Garnett and Pierce had a seat on the bench during crunch time. That allowed the Sixers to pounce. Carter-Williams went rim-to-rim off his own defensive rebound and finished with a one-handed dunk over Andrei Kirlenko. He helped the Sixers stay within 10 points of the Nets. The Sixers closed within three when Williams was fouled on a 3-pointer with 3:08 left. He made the free throw for a 94-87 lead. Williams made all six of his free-throw attempts in the game. Holis Thompson scored 18 points for the Sixers and Sims had 11 points and 11 rebounds. NOTES: 76ers C Byron Mullens (sprained left ankle) was inactive. ...

Scott intends to decide before every game whether to use Bryant that night, but Kobe likely wont play in back-to-back games again this season.Its uncharted waters for both of us, Scott said.Bryant had skipped three of the Lakers last four games to rest, and he missed three games last month, sitting out six of the Lakers last 11 games overall. Scott plans to rest Bryant again Friday when the Lakers visit Utah, but hopes Bryant will play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday — all subject to change, of course.Im not going to anticipate anything, Scott said. This is a day-by-day, game-by-game situation.Although Bryant is the NBAs sixth-leading scorer with 23.0 points per game, the accumulated wear of his 19th NBA season has prompted Scott to rest him with increasing frequency. Bryant has been surprised by the overall soreness in his body, gradually realizing the effects of the accumulated wear on a player who regularly suited up with innumerable injuries ranging from jammed fingers to sprained ankles.Scott thinks Bryants famed toughness and his desire to wring more wins out of another bad season compromised his long-term plans for Bryant. Kobe is averaging 34.8 minutes pper game, a number thats higher than Scott intended when the season began.ddddddddddddI was maybe playing him a little too much, Scott said.Bryant is in the first year of a two-year, $48.5 million contract extension signed last season while he was injured. Bryant played just six games in the previous 18 months before this season began after struggling with two major leg injuries.Its a two-year deal, and we want to make sure he can play it out to the best of his ability and to the highest ideal, Scott said.Scott claims the Lakers havent discussed shutting down Bryant for the season, but the coach acknowledged during the pregame shoot-around that such a discussion might occur in the future.For now, Scott will stick to a strict limit of 32 minutes for Bryant.But what if a game goes to overtime?He wont play overtime, Scott said.Bryant is the third-leading scorer in NBA history, a five-time champion and by far the Lakers biggest draw. Fans spend thousands of dollars on tickets with the express interest in seeing Bryant before his career ends — and while Scott is aware of his responsibility to fans, he feels a bigger responsibility to Bryant, his former teammate during Kobes rookie season.Its been a great experience to know him a little more, Scott said. Im getting to know him on a different level. Thats been the fun part. The toughest part of coaching him at this point in his career, you wish you had him six or seven years earlier, when this wasnt an issue.
