Denver ? The dejected looks to the floor, the grimaces and smirks after missed shots — Kobe Bryant’s face said it all.

This, like many other recent nights on the road, wasn’t much fun.

Carmelo Anthony scored 20 points and helped harass Bryant into a poor shooting night, leading Denver to a 113-91 rout of the Lakers Wednesday night in Bryant’s first game in Colorado since he was accused of sexual assault last summer.

Bryant was booed from the start and never found a rhythm offensively, finishing with 27 points on 8-of-23 shooting with five turnovers.

“I’ve been booed before,” Bryant said. “I don’t listen to that. I just go out there and play basketball.”

A Nuggets-record crowd of 19,739 started booing Bryant during the introductions and continued every time he touched the ball. A chant of “Guilty! Guilty!” rang out midway through the third quarter, and several fans made sexual references throughout the game.

Bryant kept calm in the first half, but his frustration boiled over in the third quarter when he grabbed Anthony under the basket, and both players were called for technical fouls.

Bryant regained his composure quickly, patting Anthony on the back of the head and asking if he was all right after the whistle.

“Every shot he took, you could tell he really wanted this game,” said Anthony, who added eight rebounds and six assists.

Bryant didn’t get much help with Shaquille O’Neal and Karl Malone sidelined with injuries.

The Lakers shot just 38 percent and allowed the Nuggets to repeatedly drive to the basket, leading to their sixth straight road loss and fourth straight overall.

“He (Bryant) was animated and feisty out there, and those are things that we wanted him to do,” Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. “We just wish the rest of the players could have stepped it up to the same level.”

Anthony had plenty of help.

Andre Miller chipped in to defend Bryant and finished with 20 points and nine assists. Earl Boykins had 22 points, and Nene and Voshon Lenard added 16 each for Denver, which shot 49 percent to avoid its first three-game losing streak this season.

“We played the way we needed to play for us to have a chance to win,” Nuggets coach Jeff Bzdelik said. “We were aggressive, we were active, we were rebounding, running moving and sharing.”

76ers 100, Clippers 80

Philadelphia — Allen Iverson scored 20 points, and Philadelphia reached 100 points for the first time in nearly two months. Iverson and Glenn Robinson combined for 16 points during a 21-5 run to start the third quarter that gave the Sixers a 17-point lead. With Iverson on the bench in the fourth quarter, the Clippers were able to cut the deficit to 11. But a series of turnovers led to a 17-4 run by Philadelphia that put the game out of reach.

Celtics 101, Magic 93

Boston — Paul Pierce had 19 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists, and Mike James added 21 points in extending the Magic’s losing streak to six games. After trailing 90-72 with 8:16 remaining, Orlando went on a 14-2 run featuring three three-pointers and 11 points by Tracy McGrady. But the Magic came no closer as Pierce scored four straight points to make it 96-86. Chris Mihm made his first start for Boston since being acquired 12 games ago and had 11 points and 11 rebounds.

Raptors 75, Cavaliers 69

Toronto — Vince Carter scored 11 of his 14 points in the final eight minutes, including a clinching windmill dunk with 21 seconds left. Carter was 1-for-12 from the field and hadn’t scored since the first quarter before putting Toronto ahead on a three-pointer with 7:34 left. After LeBron James missed a jumper with less than a minute left, Alvin Williams grabbed the rebound and found Carter downcourt for a dunk that gave Toronto a 73-67 lead.

Hornets 97, Wizards 87

New Orleans — Baron Davis had 28 points and 10 assists, and David Wesley broke out of a slump with 20 points. Wesley, who scored a total of 13 points and shot only 21 percent in his previous two games, was 7-of-13 — including three three-pointers. Davis scored all of the Hornets’ points during a 9-2 fourth-quarter run that put the game out of reach. Jamaal Magloire added 10 points and 13 rebounds for the Hornets, who sent Washington to its 12th loss in 14 games.

Mavs 105, Warriors 99

Dallas — Dirk Nowitzki scored eight of his 23 points in the final 3:56, including a layup that put Dallas ahead for good against Nick Van Exel and Golden State. The Warriors lost their seventh straight overall and eighth straight on the road, lows they hadn’t hit in two seasons. This also was their 19th straight loss to the Mavericks.

Sonics 104, Kings 93

Seattle — Ray Allen scored 10 of his 22 points in the second quarter, and Vladimir Radmanovic scored 21 to help Seattle snap Sacramento’s four-game winning streak. Antonio Daniels scored a season-high 19 points, Ronald Murray had 15, and Rashard Lewis had 11 for the Sonics, who have won five of their last six — the only loss in that stretch coming last weekend to the Kings. Peja Stojakovic and Mike Bibby each scored 19 to lead the Kings, while Doug Christie and Bobby Jackson had 13 apiece, and Brad Miller scored 12.

Pistons 85, Rockets 66

Auburn Hills, Mich. — Richard Hamilton scored 16 points, and Detroit held Houston to its lowest point total while extending its NBA record of holding teams under 100 points to 38 straight games. The Pistons won their seventh straight game, their longest winning streak in nearly 12 years, and the longest current streak in the league.

Heat 102, Bulls 95

Miami — Eddie Jones scored 27 points, and Lamar Odom added 25 as Miami, coming off its lowest-scoring game of the season, held off the Bulls. The Heat, who lost 87-65 to Indiana Monday, topped the 100-point mark for the fifth time and won for the sixth time in nine games.

Bucks 95, Suns 87

Milwaukee — Michael Redd scored 23 points, including 13 in the third quarter, and Milwaukee extended its winning streak to a season-high four games. Desmond Mason scored 17 points, Joe Smith had 14 and T.J. Ford 11 for Milwaukee. Joe Johnson had a season-high 25 points, Shawn Marion added 19 and Leandro Barbosa 16 for the Suns, who had Antonio McDyess and Howard Eisley in the lineup for the first time since acquiring them in a package from New York.
