Vince Carter scored 30 points and Dell Curry scored 18 as the Toronto Raptors ended the Philadelphia 76ers’ seven-game winning streak with a 107-88 victory Sunday at Toronto.

The 76ers lost for the first time this season with Allen Iverson in the lineup. Philadelphia started 0-5 while Iverson recovered from elbow surgery. The winning streak began with Iverson’s first game.

Iverson was seven for 24 from the field, finishing with 18 points and eight assists. Aaron McKie had 23 points and Derrick Coleman had 21 for the 76ers, who played the Raptors for the first time since eliminating them in the second round of last season’s playoffs.

Keon Clark had 12 points, 10 rebounds and four assists for the Raptors.

Seattle 99, Indiana 88--Vin Baker returned after sitting out seven games and scored 19 points for the SuperSonics at Seattle.

Baker, the four-time all-star coming off the worst season of his career, played 33 minutes.

Before the game, SuperSonic Coach Nate McMillan said Baker’s bruised left knee was 75%, but that the forward had talked his way back by saying he wanted to play badly.

Rashard Lewis scored 24 points as Seattle’s sixth man, Gary Payton scored 20 and Brent Barry had 17.

For the Pacers, Jermaine O’Neal had 23 points, 18 in the first half, and a season-high 17 rebounds.

Rookie Jamaal Tinsley had 14 points and 12 assists.

Golden State 101, New Jersey 85--Antawn Jamison scored 15 of his 22 points in the second half, and Erick Dampier had 11 points and 14 rebounds for the Warriors at Oakland.
