Nuggets End Clippers Streak – NBA Roundup

UNDATED (AP) — Another night, another loss for the Philadelphia 76ers, who haven't recorded a victory since Jan. 29.

The Sixers absorbed their team-record 21st consecutive loss as Lance Stephenson scored 25 points to lead Indiana's 99-90 victory in Philadelphia. Paul George added 24 points for the Pacers, who earned their fourth straight win and stretched their lead in the NBA's Eastern Conference to 3 1/2 games over Miami.

The 76ers actually had an early nine-point lead before breaking the previous club mark for consecutive losses set by the 1972-73 team. The league record is 26 straight losses held by the 2010-11 Cavaliers.

Oklahoma City has climbed within 1 ½ games of the Western Conference-leading San Antonio Spurs.

Kevin Durant poured in 35 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in the Thunder's 97-85 victory at Chicago. Russell Westbrook had 17 points, nine boards and nine assists after missing the Oklahoma City's previous game to rest his surgically-repaired knee.
