SAN ANTONIO ? Tim Duncan attempted San Antonio’s first eight free throws and missed them all. By the end of the afternoon, the Spurs had clanged away their 13-game winning streak.

After struggling from the line in the first half, the Spurs managed just nine baskets in the second half Saturday and lost, 83-77, to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Eric Snow scored 18 of his 20 points and Derrick Coleman had 12 of his season-high 20 points in the second half for Philadelphia, which was playing its 10th straight game without top scorer Allen Iverson (bruised right knee). San Antonio’s unbeaten streak dated to early December and was the longest in the NBA this season.

Pistons 99, Warriors 93

Auburn Hills, Mich. — Larry Brown wasn’t around for the end of his 900th career NBA coaching victory after being mistakenly ejected in the third quarter. Detroit set an NBA single-season record by holding their 34th straight opponent under 100 points, breaking the record of 33 set by the Knicks in 2000-01.

Moments after Richard Hamilton was given a technical foul for arguing a foul call with 4:31 left in the third quarter, Brown also was given a technical. Official Pat Fraher, believing referee Tim Donaghy had called two technical fouls on Brown, had the coach escorted from the court. After a discussion, it was announced that Brown could come back, but he didn’t.
