Once the Toronto Raptors started running, the Philadelphia 76ers could not slow them down.

Alvin Williams and a host of reserves led a second-quarter assault and the Raptors rarely relented in a 100-85 over the Philadelphia 76ers, who suffered their fifth straight road loss.

Williams had 14 points and 13 assists and did a credible job on NBA scoring leader Allen Iverson, who managed just 18 points on 7-of-23 shooting before sitting down for good midway through the third quarter.

Williams handed out 11 assists in the first half, when Toronto raced to a 63-39 lead and made the 76ers look like the Eastern Conference's worst team rather than its best. He scored eight points in a 29-3 second-quarter run during which the Raptors repeatedly beat the defensive-minded Sixers downcourt for dunks and layups.

"We've wanted to push the ball more and more by controlling the ball," Raptors coach Lenny Wilkens said. "It allowed us to push the ball upcourt and we hit our shots."

"I haven't been in a game where a team had 35 points on the fast break in the first half, plus they had 22 assists and only one turnover," Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "They manhandled us. We took bad shots and we didn't guard. Everybody on their team made a significant contribution."

Reserves Keon Clark and Chris Childs scored 11 points apiece and also were in the middle of the explosion in the second quarter that gave Toronto a 59-33 lead. The Raptors also got a spark from backup forward Jerome Williams, who scored six points in the period.

"Alvin distributed the ball really well and I thought Chris and Alvin played well together," Wilkens said. "When you run and push the ball, you get into a rhythm. Guys were catching the ball and making shots."

"Everyone had energy tonight," Clark added. "It wasn't just myself or Jerome coming off the bench. ... Tonight was the smoothest offense we had all year. Nobody was forcing or rushing anything. We still need to be consistent."

Vince Carter scored 26 points for the Raptors, who never trailed and defeated the Sixers for the third consecutive time, becoming the only team thus far to take the season series from Philadelphia.

"They hit shots and we just did a bad job," Iverson said. "They outhustled us, and we rarely get outhustled."

The Raptors (41-33) won for the fifth time in six games and moved one game ahead of Orlando for sixth place in the East.

The Sixers (51-23) have lost seven of their last 10 games and fell one game behind San Antonio for the league's best record. The magic number for clinching their first Atlantic Division title since 1990 remained three.

Iverson's layup gave Philadelphia a 30-30 tie with 9:46 left in the second quarter before Toronto's onslaught began with consecutive fast-break dunks by Carter and Antonio Davis.

A jumper by Childs made it 40-30 with 7:46 remaining before a free throw by Philadelphia's Tyrone Hill only briefly slowed the deluge.

For the next five minutes, Williams thwarted Iverson at one end and scored or set up teammates at the other. Dunks by Clark and Jerome Williams preceded a 3-pointer by Childs that capped the explosion at 59-33 with 2:33 to go. Philadelphia called three timeouts during the burst.

"I thought we played good team defense, especially on Iverson," Alvin Williams said. "The guys were making shots and as a point guard, it made my job easier. They asked me to stick him (Iverson) and I did my best to make his shots difficult."

Any chance the Sixers had of getting back into the game ended when the Raptors scored the first 11 points of the third quarter, opening their largest lead at 74-39 on a tip-in by former Sixer Eric Montross with 8:39 left. Brown emptied his bench shortly thereafter.

Montross was a surprise starter for Charles Oakley, who was suspended one game by the NBA for hitting Sixers forward Tyrone Hill with a thrown basketball during Tuesday's shootaround. Montross had season highs of six points and 11 rebounds.

On a night the Philadelphia 76ers reached 50 wins for the first time in 11 years, they honored the leader of their last 50-win club.

The 76ers became the first Eastern Conference team with 50 wins this season as they retired Charles Barkley's No. 34 and rode Allen Iverson's near triple-double to a 102-89 victory over the woeful Golden State Warriors.

"That's great because I've never been on a team in the NBA that won 50 games," Iverson said. "It's great. It all comes together. Everything that happened with Charles, winning the game, it being our 50th win, it was just a great night."

"It's a tremendous accomplishment," 76ers coach Larry Brown said. "Now, hopefully we'll get a little confidence from this game. It is an accomplishment when you consider four or five years ago we won 21 or 22, then 31."

With just their second win in eight games, Philadelphia improved to 50-22, one game behind San Antonio for the best record in the NBA. The 76ers surpassed last season's win total and reached 50 wins for the first time since the 1989-90 campaign.

That team won the Atlantic Division title and was powered by Barkley, who spent the first eight years of his 16-year career with the Sixers and in 1996 was named one of the NBA's 50 Greatest Players.

Before a sellout crowd of 20,958 at the First Union Center, Barkley was honored in a halftime ceremony that included many family members, former coaches and teammates. He was brought to tears by a standing ovation and repeated his desire to enter the Basketball Hall of Fame as a Sixer before a banner bearing his No. 34 was hoisted to the rafters.

"It was especially nice with Charles here," Brown said. "The ceremony was phenomenal, seeing his number go up. He meant a lot to this franchise and this league. I personally admire the hell out of him. I thought it was really nicely done."

The prolonged ceremony seemed to spark the Sixers, who have had their troubles in the third quarter of late but instead turned a five-point halftime lead into a 77-61 advantage.

Iverson scored 17 in the period, just two shy of Golden State's total. He finished with 35 points, a career-high 11 rebounds and nine assists, just missing his first career triple-double.

"I really wanted it because I never did it before. To have a triple double, that's a great all-around game. And on a night like this when you have one of the greatest players to ever play the game, the whole all-around game, and he gets his jersey retired, it was something I wanted to look back on. It was a great night, my mom got to see Charles get his jersey retired, I got a chance to see it. It was something special, something I'll cherish for the rest of my life."

Tyrone Hill had a season-high 21 points and 14 rebounds for the Sixers, who went 16-12 against the powerful Western Conference this season. Philadelphia has won its last six meetings with Golden State.

Hill has a personal memory of playing against Barkley.

"I remember when I was a rookie and we played them at Golden State," he said. "He said to me `Rookie, you keep playing hard like you've been playing and you'll be in the league a long time.' He knows all about work ethic."

Antawn Jamison scored 32 points for the Warriors, who have lost seven in a row on the road and 22 of 24 overall since the All-Star break.

The Sixers never trailed after using a 7-0 spurt to open a 9-2 lead. They led 23-19 after one quarter and by 10 points in the second period before settling for a 47-42 halftime lead.

The ceremony for Barkley lasted 30 minutes, more than twice as long as a normal halftime, which did not bode well for the Sixers. In their last six losses, they had managed just 102 points in the third quarter.

A 3-pointer by Jamison pulled Golden State within 54-52 with 7:36 left before Philadelphia rattled off 14 consecutive points. Iverson had two 3-pointers and Hill and George Lynch had two baskets each during the spurt, which gave the Sixers a 68-52 advantage with 3:28 remaining.

"Iverson just took over," Warriors coach Dave Cowens said. "We went down by 14 and he made two 3-pointers. Of the 14 points, he accounted for six of them. Great players step up when they have to and that's what he did tonight. That's when the game got away."

"We knew that we couldn't let then stay in the game and gain some confidence," Hill said. "So, we stepped it up defensively and we got some easy baskets and got some easy looks."

Philadelphia led 77-61 entering the fourth quarter and opened its largest lead at 92-71 on a basket by Jumaine Jones with 6:25 to go.

For three quarters, Penny Hardaway was
too big. In the fourth quarter, Clifford Robinson was too much.


Hardaway used his height to score a season-high 27 points and
Robinson scored nine of his 19 points in the final period as the
Phoenix Suns held on for a 93-87 victory over the Philadelphia
76ers.


Remarkably, the Suns held NBA scoring leader Allen Iverson to 18
points, none in the final quarter. Averaging 31.3 points per
game, Iverson often was funneled toward Phoenix's big men and
made only 7-of-28 shots. He was 0-of-6 from 3-point range and
had his shot blocked three times.


"I missed shots I usually make," said Iverson, who had seven
assists. "I was getting by them. I just wasn't making my
shots."


Defended by Jason Kidd, the lightning-quick Iverson was 0-of-7
in the final period as he was held to his lowest total since
managing just 11 against Charlotte on December 11. Phoenix also
limited Iverson to 11 on November 4.


"I just made him work," Kidd said. "I was gonna make it tough
for him. He still played a great game. He had his looks. It
just didn't fall for him."


"He just followed him all over the court," Suns coach Scott
Skiles said. "In the first game Iverson was 4-for-20. You've
just got to make him work for his shots. You know he's gonna
get his shots. You just hope you can make him miss."


In that game, the Suns held on for an 84-80 win, withstanding a
furious fourth-quarter rally by the 76ers. It was more of the
same tonight but Phoenix beat Philadelphia for the 14th time in
the last 16 meetings.


Tom Gugliotta scored 17 points and Kidd pulled down 13 rebounds
for the Suns, who are 1-1 on their five-game road trip. They
lost at Indiana by the identical score on Tuesday and did not
travel until this morning due to inclement weather.


Iverson was not the only Sixer who struggled. Philadelphia shot
less than 37 percent (33-of-90) and made only 19-of-35 free
throws. The Sixers were 30-of-32 from the line in Saturday's
win over Indiana.


"The free throws helped us vs. Indiana," Iverson said. "They
killed us tonight."


Theo Ratliff had 14 points and 13 rebounds and Larry Hughes
added 13 and 10 for the Sixers, who had won five of their last
six games.


While Iverson had a pair of shots blocked, Hardaway had a jumper
and 3-pointer to close the third quarter and give the Suns a
70-63 advantage. Hardaway scored 11 points in the period.


"I try to win a basketball game without having to shoot 27
times," said Hardaway, who was 12-of-21 from the field. "But I
made up my mind after the Indiana game that I was going to be
aggressive because the shots were there for me and I had to take
advantage of them."


A 3-pointer by Robinson and layup by Luc Longley gave Phoenix
its largest lead at 77-64 with 9:15 to go before Philadelphia
rallied with some help from the officials. The Sixers were not
called for a team foul until the final minute.


Hughes and George Lynch scored five points apiece in a 13-2 run
that cut the deficit to 79-77 with 4:57 remaining. The Sixers
had a chance to tie, but Aaron McKie split a pair of foul shots
with three minutes to go and Phoenix's Rex Chapman drilled a
3-pointer for an 86-82 lead.


An acrobatic reverse layup by Hughes halved the deficit before
Robinson got behind the defense for a breakaway layup with 1:54
left. He answered McKie's jumper with one of his own and, after
a steal by Chapman, dunked for a 92-86 lead with 40 seconds to
go.


"I didn't get my shot down early in the game but I was able to
make some key shots down the stretch," Robinson said. "I made
an easy layup, a little jumper in the lane and a dunk. I kind
of caught them sleeping and took advantage of the fact that they
weren't keeping an eye on me."


"We tried to do everything right at the end," Iverson said. "We
just couldn't do it."


Kidd missed his first 10 shots but handed out eight assists for
the Suns, who shot 43 percent (33-of-77) and made 20-of-26 free
throws. Phoenix was outrebounded, 53-46.


Working against 6-3 Eric Sbow, the 6-7 Hardaway repeatedly went
into the post and scored on spin moves or jumpers. He scored
eight points in the first quarter, which ended with the Suns
holding a 22-17 lead.


"In the past, they've been successful (defending the post),"
Hardaway said. "Today, coach Skiles got me into a position where
I can get the ball without them fronting me and I was able to
shoot over them. It was a great deal for me to get the ball in
key spots and to knock them down."
