CHAUNCEY Billups scored 31 points and Carmelo Anthony had 14 to help the Denver Nuggets spoil Allen Iverson's return to Philadelphia with a 93-83 win over the 76ers yesterday.
The Nuggets went on a 22-3 run over the third and fourth quarters to rally for their fourth straight win.
Iverson's rousing return did little to mask the fact that the Sixers are a lousy team. They've lost 10 straight, and only one-win New Jersey has a worse record in the Eastern Conference.
Iverson received a standing ovation when he left in the fourth quarter. He scored 11 points on 4-for-11 shooting and had six assists.
Iverson bowed and kissed the logo at midcourt when he was introduced as the sellout crowd of 20,664 roared.
Knicks 93, Trail Blazers 84
At New York, Larry Hughes scored 21 points and David Lee had 17 points and 10 rebounds as New York won its season-high third straight.
Danilo Gallinari and Wilson Chandler each added 14 points as the Knicks won for the fourth time in five games.
Brandon Roy scored 27 points, and LaMarcus Aldridge had 19 points and 13 rebounds for the injury-depleted Trail Blazers, who lost center Greg Oden to season-ending surgery Sunday.
Thunder 104, Warriors 88
At Oklahoma, City, Kevin Durant scored 28 points and rookie James Harden added a career-high 26 as Oklahoma City capitalized on the ejection of Golden State's Corey Maggette.
The Thunder led by one when Maggette drew two technical fouls for arguing with official Derek Richardson late in the third quarter. Between Maggette's ejection and the end of the third quarter, the Thunder outscored Golden State 16-5.
Monta Ellis led the Warriors with 31 points but committed nine turnovers.
Jazz 104, Spurs 101
At Salt Lake City, Deron Williams recovered after missing his first six shots and scored 17 points for Utah, including a go-ahead jump shot with 22 seconds left.
Williams added 11 assists and Carlos Boozer had 27 points, seven rebounds and five assists for the Jazz, who guaranteed their first series win over the Spurs in 12 years with their third win over San Antonio this season.
Matt Bonner scored a career-high 28 for the Spurs.
