Webber Scores Eight, Serenaded With Boos

There was Chris Webber sitting on the bench, boos surrounding him and Philadelphia trailing by double digits to woeful Golden State.

Jason Richardson scored 22 points and Mike Dunleavy added 21 to lead the Warriors to only their eighth road win of the season, 104-85, over the 76ers on Tuesday night at Philadelphia.

For the third straight game, Webber was basically a non-factor. The five-time All-Star sat out long stretches and was booed when he was in the game. He finished with eight points on three-of-12 shooting in 30 minutes.

“This is Philadelphia, the toughest place in the world,” said Allen Iverson, who had 33 points with a franchise-record 12 turnovers. “I told him what to expect. I let him know they would expect him to be like the Chris Webber he was.”

Webber, acquired from Sacramento two weeks ago, didn’t stick around to talk about it, leaving the locker room before the media was let in. Coach Jim O’Brien defended Webber and blamed the loss on fatigue and poor defense.

“I believe Chris is a very confident guy and will find his stride here real soon,” O’Brien said.

The 76ers played their sixth game in eight days, with all the games played as back-to-backs.

Sacramento 85, Memphis 82 -- Mike Bibby’s three-point basket as time expired was upheld on a video review for a Kings’ victory at Sacramento.

Peja Stojakovic’s inbounds pass with 1.4 seconds left was tipped by James Posey, but the clock didn’t appear to start until Bibby grabbed the ball, turned and made the shot. After a lengthy review, the officials upheld the shot.

Bibby had 26 points. Brian Cardinal scored 15 for Memphis, which had tied it with a 10-1 run.

Cleveland 111, Orlando 92 -- LeBron James scored 23 points and Drew Gooden also had 23 in his return to the starting lineup at Cleveland to help the Cavaliers end a six-game losing streak.

Gooden, replaced for two games by Robert Traylor, finished 10 of 13 from the field.

Steve Francis scored 21 points for Orlando, playing without Grant Hill because of a sore shin.

Houston 97, Seattle 95 -- Tracy McGrady scored 35 points, Yao Ming had 16 of his 22 points in the second half and the visiting Rockets outscored the SuperSonics, 22-6, in the third quarter -- with those six points setting franchise records for both teams. It was the fewest points the Rockets had ever allowed in a quarter, as well as Seattle’s lowest quarter.

Ray Allen scored 32 points for Seattle and Rashard Lewis added 32.

Minnesota 102, Charlotte 97 -- Kevin Garnett had 16 of his 30 points in a third quarter as the Timberwolves prevented the visiting Bobcats from earning a season sweep.

San Antonio 90, New Jersey 74 -- Tim Duncan unexpectedly played and had 19 points and eight rebounds at San Antonio for the Spurs. Duncan had sprained his right ankle Sunday.

Indiana 89, Utah 83 -- Stephen Jackson scored 30 points and the Pacers rallied from a late three-point deficit after blowing a 25-point lead at Salt Lake City.

New York 93, Washington 83 -- Jamal Crawford scored 19 points to help the Knicks win their seventh straight home game. The Wizards, led by 27 points from Larry Hughes, were without Antawn Jamison (knee), ending his streak of 386 consecutive games.

Milwaukee 105, Atlanta 101 -- Mo Williams had 22 points and 10 assists, and Desmond Mason also scored 22 for the Bucks at Milwaukee.
