Spurs improve to 7-0 on the road
The Spurs improved to 7-0 on the road and are the only unbeaten road team left in the NBA. San Antonio is the fourth team in the last 10 years to start 7-0 or better on the road. The Spurs will be tested twice more on their current three-game road trip Monday night at Golden State and Wednesday in Utah.
Tim Duncan added 18 and 16 rebounds for the Spurs, who have won 12 straight regular-season road games dating to the end of last season.
Ray Allen led Seattle with 21 points, and Nick Collison added 15 off the bench.
Duncan became the third player in Spurs history to reach 15,000 points.
Duncan came into the game needing 10 points and reached 15,000 when Seattle's Nick Collison was called for goaltending on Duncan's short jumper with 2:05 left in the first half. It gave San Antonio a 47-37 lead.
Duncan, an eight-time All-Star, joined David Robinson (20,790) and George Gervin (19,383) as the only Spurs to reach 15,000 points.
Teammate Michael Finley isn't too far behind. Finley entered Sunday's game 172 points shy of 15,000 for his career.
Denver, the NBA's highest-scoring team, started strong in the first and third quarters against the tired Clippers, shooting 51 percent and getting 27 assists for its second win in its last nine games against Los Angeles. Andre Miller had 14 points and 10 assists, and Anthony, the NBA's leading scorer, went over 30 points for the ninth time in 12 games.
RAPTORS 92, PACERS 83: At Toronto, Chris Bosh had 17 points and 11 rebounds and four other Raptors reached double figures in scoring as Toronto led from buzzer to buzzer.
Andrea Bargnani the No. 1 overall pick in the draft had 14 points for Toronto. He made 2 3-pointers and was 5-for-11 from the field.
Stephen Jackson and Danny Granger each scored 18 points for the Pacers, who have been behind after the first quarter in 11 of 14 games this season.
The Pacers trailed by as many as 27, but cut the lead to four in the third quarter with a 12-1 run capped by Lee Tinsley's driving layup.
