CARMELO Anthony scored 25 points and Amare Stoudemire added 16 points and 11 rebounds as the New York Knicks kept the Philadelphia 76ers winless after 13 games with a 91-83 victory on Saturday.
Jose Calderon made his season debut for the Knicks, who had lost consecutive games but had an easy time against a team that was every bit as bad as its record for most of the game.
The 76ers are the first team to drop their first 13 games since the 2009-10 Nets lost 18 straight during the worst start in NBA history. The Sixers are nearing their franchise-worst start of 0-15 in 1972-73, when they finished 9-73 for the worst 82-game mark in league history.
Gerald Green led all scorers with 23 points as the Phoenix Suns remained one of the peak teams in the NBA after its 106-83 road win over the Indiana Pacers.
Markieff Morris added 13 for Phoenix, and Goran Dragic had 11. Isaiah Thomas pitched in with 16 points off the bench for the Suns.
Indiana was led by Rodney Stuckey, who scored 14 points.
Miami’s Chris Bosh scored 14 of his season-high 32 points in the fourth quarter to lead Miami over the Orlando Magic 99-92.
Bosh’s two free throws with 6:45 left pulled the Heat out of a 77-77 deadlock and started a 14-4 run that put them firmly in charge of their 10th straight win against their intrastate rivals.
