Spurs top Sixers in division leaders' duel

PHILADELPHIA – Tony Parker scored 37 points, Gary Neal added 18 off the bench and the San Antonio Spurs beat the Philadelphia 76ers, 100-90, in a matchup of division leaders Wednesday night.

Tim Duncan had 16 points and 11 rebounds and Tiago Splitter scored 15 for the Southwest Division-leading Spurs.

The Atlantic Division-leading Sixers fell to 4-2 during a seven-game stretch that coach Doug Collins termed “Death Row” because of the quality of their opponents. After building a strong record early in the season against lesser competition, they beat Orlando, the Bulls, Atlanta (on the road) and the Los Angeles Lakers. Their other loss was at home to Miami.

The Spurs are a much different team on the road. But they outplayed the Sixers throughout to improve to 5-8 away from home. They’re 13-1 in their own building.

Magic 102, Heat 89: At Orlando, Fla., Dwight Howard had 25 points and 24 rebounds, Ryan Anderson scored 27 and Orlando hit 17 three-pointers against Miami.
