PHILADELPHIA _ Tobias Harris talked recently about never losing his confidence, even when his jumper temporarily abandoned him.
The shots are now going in and Harris is aggressively taking it to the basket with strong results.
Since going through a 1-for-24 3-point shooting slump during a six-game stretch, Harris has done an about-face.
That continued on Friday when he scored 26 points as the Sixers defeated the San Antonio Spurs, 115-104, at the Wells Fargo Center.
The Sixers (10-5) have won three in a row heading into Saturday's home game against Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat. Miami improved to 11-3 with Friday's win over Chicago.
The current three-game streak began when Harris shot 12 for 14 and scored 27 points in a 114-95 win at Cleveland.
Against the Spurs, the 6-foot-8 Harris kept taking smaller defenders to the basket with great success. He shot 10 of 16 from the field and 3 of 5 from 3-point range.
Joel Embiid added 21 points and 14 rebounds and Al Horford contributed 18 points and nine rebounds.
Ben Simmons had an off-shooting night (3 for 10) but still recorded a triple-double with 10 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists.
It was the second straight game where Simmons has had 13 assists, getting that total in Wednesday's 109-104 win over the New York Knicks.
Furkan Korkmaz, starting the second straight game for the injured Josh Richardson (hip), had 17 points.
James Ennis has scored in double figures in each of the last three wins, after providing 13 against the Spurs.
The Sixers outrebounded San Antonio, 51-32.
San Antonio (5-11) has qualified for the playoffs 22 consecutive years, a streak that is in serious jeopardy.
The Spurs have now lost eight consecutive games for the first time since Nov. 15-30, 1996.
DeMar DeRozan led the Spurs with 29 points.
Leading 103-97, the Sixers then went on an 8-3 run to extend their lead to 111-100 when Kormaz hit a 3 with 2 minutes and 28 seconds left.
The Sixers led 59-52 at halftime and didn't crumble when Embiid committed his third foul with 9:36 left in the second quarter, forcing him to sit out the rest of the half. At the time, the Sixers led 32-27.
Embiid only played 12 minutes and 1 second in the first half, scoring nine points.
Harris had 13 first half points and continued his strong play over the final two quarters.
