Philadelphia — Wide open or contested, the Seattle SuperSonics hit three-pointers from all over the court.
Ray Allen scored a season-high 37 points, Rashard Lewis had 21, and Vladimir Radmanovic added 20, leading Seattle to its seventh straight victory, 103-95 over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night.
The Sonics are off to their best start since opening 10-0 in 1993. They haven't lost since dropping their opener to the Los Angeles Clippers by 30 points after going 2-6 in exhibition games.
"Everybody stepped up and played their part," Allen said. "We had it working on all cylinders."
Allen Iverson scored 26, and Kyle Korver had 14 for the Sixers, who had won three in a row.
Seattle, which came in with an NBA-best 58 three-pointers, shot 18-of-39 from beyond the arc, tying a team record for threes. Allen finished 12-of-24 from the field, including 7-of-12 on three-pointers. Radmanovic went 6-of-11 on threes.
Antonio Daniels had 19 points off the bench for Seattle, which received 41 points from its reserves.
"This team is playing the game the right way," Sonics coach Nate McMillan said. "We are getting play from our first and second units. We're getting solid play from 10 guys."
Willie Green put Philadelphia ahead 72-64 in the third quarter with a dunk off a behind-the-back pass from Iverson that went around Allen. But the Sonics answered with 13 straight points to end the quarter, taking a 77-72 lead on consecutive three-pointers by Lewis.
Seattle's Antonio Daniels, cuts in front of Philadelphia's John Salmons, left, as he tries for a steal. The SuperSonics defeated the 76ers, 103-95, Tuesday in Philadelphia.
Another three by Allen capped an 18-0 run, giving the Sonics an 82-72 early in the fourth. Overall, the Sixers went 6:30 without scoring before Iverson made a driving layup to cut it to 82-74.
"They have way too much firepower from the three-point line," Sixers coach Jim O'Brien said. "They generally have four great shooters at once and they use the pick-and-roll well."
Suns 107, Mavericks 101
Dallas -- Steve Nash scored 17 points and had a season-best 18 assists, many setting up Amare Stoudamire's 34 points, to lead Phoenix past Dallas.
Nash spent six memorable seasons in Dallas, becoming one of the most popular players in town as the Mavs became one of the NBA's top teams with him pushing the offense. He signed a six-year deal worth at least $60 million with Phoenix in July, but the locals didn't hold a grudge. "Thanks Steve" and "Welcome Back Nash" were among the signs waved by fans.
Spurs 99, Knicks 81
San Antonio -- Tim Duncan had 17 points and 10 rebounds, and began a key third-quarter burst that helped San Antonio beat New York. Tony Parker added 18 points and a season-high nine assists for the Spurs, 6-1 this season.
The Spurs, who led by six points at the half, shot 52 percent after the break while holding the Knicks to only 36 percent in the second half. Still, New York pulled to 54-52 with 8 minutes left in the third quarter on a tip-in by Nazr Mohammed.
But Duncan made a 12-foot turnaround jumper to start a 13-4 run for the Spurs, and the lead rarely fell below 10 points thereafter.
Kings 113, Bulls 106
Sacramento, Calif. -- Peja Stojakovic scored 29 points, Mike Bibby added 27, and Sacramento kept Chicago winless. Bobby Jackson scored 20 points, and Chris Webber had 19 points, 13 rebounds and six assists for the Kings, who remained unbeaten at home with their 11th straight win over the Bulls since Michael Jordan's second retirement in 1998.
T'wolves 108, Heat 97
Minneapolis -- Kevin Garnett came close to another triple-double, finishing with 25 points, 21 rebounds and eight assists for Minnesota in a victory over Miami. Dwyane Wade, after missing the last two games because of a sprained left ankle, scored 20 of his 25 points in the first half for the Heat. Shaquille O'Neal added 20 points and 15 rebounds.
Garnett stole the show, though -- surpassing 14,000 career points and guiding the Timberwolves' best all-around effort of the season. They were ahead for the final 40-plus minutes, building a lead as big as 22.
Hawks 88, Rockets 84
Atlanta -- Antoine Walker had 20 points and 10 rebounds, and Atlanta rallied from an 11-point deficit in the final 6:11 to beat Houston. Yao Ming, who had 27 points and 11 rebounds, ended Houston's 0-for-10 skid from the field with a 5-footer with 18 seconds remaining, cutting Atlanta's lead to 86-84. But Jon Barry made two free throws to seal it for the Hawks.
Clippers 101, Raptors 89
Los Angeles -- Marko Jaric had 23 points, eight assists and seven rebounds to lead Los Angeles over Toronto. Corey Maggette added 22 points, Elton Brand had 19, and all five Los Angeles starters scored in double figures. Chris Wilcox had 14 points and nine rebounds, and Bobby Simmons scored 10.
Vince Carter scored 21 points for the Raptors but only six after the first quarter. In a shooting slump recently, he finished 9-of-23 but made only four of 18 shots after hitting his first five.
Jazz 107, Bobcats 105
Charlotte, N.C. -- Raja Bell made a three-pointer with 18 seconds left and hit two clutch free throws to lead Utah over Charlotte. The Jazz, off to a 6-1 start, trailed by 22 and needed a furious comeback to get back into the game.
