DALLAS—The Dallas Mavericks recorded their biggest-ever win by routing the winless Philadelphia 76ers 123-70 on Thursday, though the Sixers avoided their heaviest-ever defeat by scoring the last five points of the game.

In the day’s other games, Pau Gasol led Chicago to a win at Toronto, Memphis, came from 26 points down to beat Sacramento with a buzzer-beater, and Golden State had a home win over Brooklyn.
