Rodman Does It All, Even From Long Range

Dennis Rodman had his first career triple-double and his first three-point basket of the season Tuesday night as the Chicago Bulls tied a team record with their 26th consecutive home victory by beating Philadelphia, 116-104.

Michael Jordan had 32 points for the Bulls (32-3), who have won nine in a row overall. Their home winning streak, matching their mark set in 1990-91, includes 19 games this season and the final seven last year. They haven’t lost at the United Center since March 24--Jordan’s first home game after coming out of retirement.

Playing in his 700th career game, Rodman had 21 rebounds, 10 points and a career-high 10 assists. His 10th assist came with 10 minutes to play when he set up Jordan’s 15-foot jumper.

In the first half, Rodman had 13 rebounds to Philadelphia’s 12.

Seattle 99, Cleveland 90--Shawn Kemp was double- and triple-teamed but still managed 31 points and 16 rebounds as the SuperSonics improved their Key Arena record to 15-1, won their third game in a row and for the 11th time in 13 games.

Indiana 110, Toronto 102--Reggie Miller scored 27 points and ended the Raptors’ fourth-period rally by making consecutive three-point shots as the Pacers won at Toronto.

Damon Stoudamire, who tied his season-high with 29 points, capped a 13-0 run in the fourth quarter with a jumper that got the Raptors within four points, 99-95, with 3:28 left. But Miller made two three-point shots that gave the Pacers a six-point lead with 1:39 left.

San Antonio 121, Boston 97--David Robinson’s 27 points led six Spurs in double figures and San Antonio won its fifth in a row, at San Antonio.

San Antonio, which outrebounded the Celtics 55-32, held a 12-point halftime lead that grew to 24 in the third quarter.

Portland 87, Denver 69--The Trail Blazers had their best defensive effort of the season and reached .500 for the first time in nearly a month by beating the Nuggets at home.
