PHILADELPHIA (AP) \u2014 Quentin Grimes<\/a> hit two tiebreaking free throws with 16.4 seconds remaining, Tyrese Maxey<\/a> scored 25 points and the short-handed Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> beat the Utah Jazz<\/a> 106-102 on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Grimes finished with 16 points and Jabari Walker<\/a> had 22 points for the 76ers, who were without Joel Embiid<\/a>, VJ Edgecombe<\/a> and suspended Paul George<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Keyonte George<\/a> scored 30 points for the Jazz, who have lost seven in a row.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia, which entered in sixth place in the Eastern Conference playoff race, trailed 100-94 with 4:51 left after George hit a 3. But Utah missed its next six field goals, and Philadelphia tied it at 100 on Adem Bona<\/a>\u2019s follow dunk with 1:50 left.<\/p>\n

Isaiah Collier<\/a>\u2019s layup 46 seconds later put the Jazz ahead by two points, but Grimes tied it on a drive with 46.8 seconds remaining. After George misfired on a long-range shot for Utah, Grimes converted both free throws after being fouled. Utah coach Will Hardy did not call timeout, and a wide-open look from long distance by Kyle Filipowski<\/a> was off.<\/p>\n

Embiid missed his third straight game with a strained right oblique. Edgecombe suffered a lower back contusion in Tuesday\u2019s 131-91 loss to the Spurs.<\/p>\n

Jazz rookie Ace Bailey<\/a> scored 12 points. <\/p>\n

Jaren Jackson Jr.<\/a> (left knee injury recovery), Walker Kessler<\/a> (left shoulder injury recovery), Lauri Markkanen<\/a> (right hip impingement), Jusuf Nurkic<\/a> (nose injury recovery) and Vince Williams Jr.<\/a> (left knee injury management) were out for Utah.<\/p>\n
