Spurs drop hapless Sixers to 0-17

KAWHI Leonard tallied 26 points and 10 rebounds to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 109-103 win over the Philadelphia 76ers, who moved one step closer to infamy on Monday.

Philadelphia can tie the 2009-10 New Jersey Nets (0-18) for the worst start to a National Basketball Association season when it travels to Minnesota to play the Timberwolves tomorrow.

The 76ers’ 17th consecutive loss came against a short-handed Spurs team that was without their two top guns, Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, who sat to get some extra rest. Tiago Splitter also didn’t play due to a calf problem.

The Sixers endured a NBA-record 26-game losing streak last year en route to a 19-63 season.

Michael Carter-Williams had 24 points and 11 rebounds for Philadelphia.

Elsewhere, it was: Wizards 107, Heat 86; Nuggets 103, Jazz 101; and Clippers 127, Timberwolves 101.
