PHILADELPHIA - Wide open or contested, the SuperSonics hit 3-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 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 Clippers after going 2-6 in preseason 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 a league-best 58 3-pointers, shot 18-of-39 from beyond the arc, tying a team record. Allen finished 12-of-24 from the field, including 7-of-12 on 3-pointers. Radmanovic went 6-of-11 on 3s.
Antonio Daniels had 19 points off the bench for Seattle, which got 41 points from its reserves.
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 3s by Lewis.
Another 3 by Allen capped an 18-0 run, giving the Sonics an 82-72 lead early in the fourth. Overall, the Sixers went 6:30 without scoring before Iverson made a driving layup to cut it to 82-74.
After a 3-point play by Samuel Dalembert cut the deficit to 92-85, Radmanovic's sixth 3 gave the Sonics a 10-point lead with 4:32 left. The Sixers didn't get closer than nine until the final seconds.
"The game was ours to win. We just broke down," Iverson said.
Meanwhile, Glenn Robinson rejoined the Sixers, two weeks after the team said it would try to deal the disgruntled former All-Star, who has been away from the team because of a family issue. Robinson, earning more than $12-million in the final year of his contract, remained on the injured list with left ankle tendinitis.
WOLVES 108, HEAT 97: Dwyane Wade's return was overshadowed by the MVP.
Kevin Garnett came close to another triple double, finishing with 25 points, 21 rebounds and eight assists for host Minnesota. Wade, after missing the last two games with 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 - 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 when Eddie Griffin hit a 3-pointer to make it 102-80 with 61/2 minutes left.
Miami used an 11-0 run to pull to 102-91, then Garnett sank a 21-footer with 1:24 left.
Hurt in Thursday's loss to Dallas, Wade was unsure if he could come back this soon - but there were no signs of him being slowed by the injury. He scored 16 of Miami's 19 points during a five-minute surge midway through the second quarter.
HAWKS 88, ROCKETS 84: Antoine Walker had 20 points and 10 rebounds, and host Atlanta rallied from an 11-point deficit in the final 6:11. 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.
Reserve point guard Royal Ivey gave the Hawks a boost in the fourth quarter with a pair of free throws before stealing a backcourt pass and driving for a layup for Atlanta's first lead at 83-82.
Yao hit 13-of-15, and Tracy McGrady scored 21 points, but the Rockets lost for the third time in four games. McGrady was just 3-for-11 from the field in the second half.
The Hawks pulled within seven on Josh Childress' layup with 6:57 left, but Juwan Howard answered 22 seconds later with a 10-footer that made it 80-71. After Walker missed a 3, Jim Jackson put the Rockets up by 11 with a fast-break layup. Houston missed a chance to build its lead back to six when Charlie Ward's 3-pointer rattled out with 3:40 left.
Walker, who has scored at least 20 points in all seven games, put back his own miss for an 85-82 lead at the 1:23 mark.
JAZZ 107, BOBCATS 105: Raja Bell made a 3-pointer with 18 seconds left and hit two clutch free throws to lift visiting Utah, which trailed by 22 at one point. Bell's 3-pointer cut Charlotte's lead to 105-104, then he gave Utah its first lead on two free throws with 15.5 seconds left.
That put the Jazz up 106-105, and the Bobcats set up for a final shot. But the clock failed to start twice, stopping play both times, and Gerald Wallace missed his jumper for Charlotte. Utah got the rebound, Carlos Boozer was fouled, and he made a free throw to wrap it up.
Boozer led Utah with 34 points and 13 rebounds, and Bell scored 21. Keith Bogans led Charlotte with a career-high 28 points. A self-proclaimed defensive specialist, Bogans came off the bench to give the Bobcats an offensive lift by scoring 15 points in the first half as Charlotte opened a 22-point lead.
MAGIC: Guard Cuttino Mobley will be sidelined with a strained groin until the weekend, but center Kelvin Cato (sprained right ankle) is expected to return today. Mobley and Cato missed the past three games, two of them losses, after being injured in a win over the Mavericks last week.
