Spurs 105, 76ers 72
In San Antonio, Tim Duncan scored 24 points, including 17 straight in the second quarter, to lead San Antonio past Philadelphia.
Duncan, who sat out the fourth quarter, also had 12 rebounds and six blocks in 25 minutes for the 415th double-double of his career.
The victory was the 20th in a row for the Spurs at the SBC Center and tied the franchise's best start after 16 games at 13-3.
Marc Jackson led Philadelphia with 18 points, and Allen Iverson added 14.
With Duncan on the bench, Beno Udrih and Devin Brown rallied the team from a 21-14 deficit with three minutes left in the first quarter, combining to score all but four of the team's next 17 points. Brown scored a career high 24 points.
Kings 94, Hornets 81
In New Orleans, Brad Miller's 24 points and some outside shooting by Bobby Jackson and Peja Stoj-akovic lifted Sacramento and kept New Orleans winless at home.
The Hornets had a 20-point deficit trimmed to nine after Lee Nailon's one-handed follow of a missed 3-pointer with a little more than nine minutes to go. But 3-pointers on three straight Kings possessions -- two by Jackson and one by Stojakovic -- made the score 83-67 and all but ended any realistic chance of the Hornets (1-13) notching their first home victory in seven tries.
Stojakovic finished with 20 points, while Jackson, who hit his first six shots, had 19. Chris Webber added 12 points and nine assists, while Doug Christie scored 10 for the Kings, who shot 49 percent.
