NBA roundup: Red-hot Suns blow by Raptors
PHILADELPHIA — Jason Richardson scored 29 points, Steve Nash added 21 points and tied his season-high with 20 assists and the Phoenix Suns beat the Philadelphia 76ers 119-115 on Monday.
The Suns eclipsed the 100-point barrier for the eighth straight game to open a season, which hadn't happened since the 1990-91 season. Jared Dudley contributed 18, Amare Stoudemire added 17, Grant Hill had 11 and Channing Frye 10 for the high-flying Suns, who entered the game averaging a league-high 109.7 points per game. Phoenix, which hit 15-of-30 3-pointers, has won three straight and finished its five-game road trip at 4-1
SPURS 131, RAPTORS 124: At San Antonio, Manu Ginobili scored 36 points without Tim Duncan and Tony Parker in the lineup and the Spurs beat the Raptors. Ginobili hit four 3-pointers in the fourth quarter and the Spurs somehow shook the rust off their sputtering offense with their two leading scorers sidelined.
Duncan and Parker sat out with ankle injuries and are listed as day-to-day. Richard Jefferson had 24 and George Hill added 22 for San Antonio.
Chris Bosh had 32 points and nine rebounds for Toronto, but his third 30-point game of the season wasn't enough after another soft defensive game for the Raptors.
HORNETS 112, CLIPPERS 84: At Los Angeles, Chris Paul had 24 points and 10 assists on a sore ankle, Devin Brown scored 25 points.
WARRIORS 146, TIMBERWOLVES 105: At Oakland, Calif., Kelenna Azubuike scored a season-high 31 points and Anthony Randolph added 23. Stephen Jackson, whose agent publicly criticized Golden State coach Don Nelson a day earlier, had 10 points and a career-high 15 assists.
