The NBA’s two best records both added a defeat to the win/loss column last night.
Behind Allen Iverson’s 34 points (13 in the fourth quarter), the Sixers squeaked past the Seattle Supersonics 114-107 in the Key Arena. With the loss, the division leading Sonics fell to 20-6 on the season.
Meanwhile, the San Antonio Spurs ended the Phoenix Suns’ 11-game winning streak with an impressive 115-94 victory putting the Suns at 24-4 on the season.
"They're a championship-caliber team," Suns coach Mike D'Antoni said of the Spurs, "and we're climbing up the ladder. We know that. We're not disheartened by being 24-4 and coming back and understanding what we need to do."
