    Doug Collins saw the Philadelphia 76ers earn their first victory of the season on his back, not the bench.

    He was in the locker room, resting because of dizzy spells related to vertigo. Collins had nothing to worry about but his health by the time Philadelphia flattened the Indiana Pacers 101-75 on Wednesday night.

    Collins wasn't around to celebrate his first win since he was hired in May, leaving the bench at halftime when he felt ill and turning over the clipboard to associate head coach Michael Curry.

    Collins missed two preseason games because of symptoms related to a concussion he sustained on Memorial Day and then had neurological testing and treatment for what was diagnosed as vertigo.

    "I think when you crack your head, you don't understand all the dynamics," Collins said. "This summer, I was able to rest a lot and everything. What happens [now], when you get up and down, it triggers it."
