PHOENIX -- Shaquille O'Neal had 14 points and 16 rebounds, and Steve Nash 19 points and 14 assists, helping the Phoenix Suns to a 94-87 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday.

Phoenix outscored the Spurs 14-2 in the final 3:40 to improve to 4-6 since O'Neal joined the team. O'Neal's two blocked shots made him the third player in NBA history to have 26,000 points, 11,500 rebounds and 2,500 blocks, joining Kareem-Abdul Jabaar and Hakeem Olajuwon.

Manu Ginobili scored 22 points, but missed several down the stretch for the Spurs, who lost their second in a row after an 11-game winning streak.

Raptors 114, SuperSonics 106

TORONTO -- Anthony Parker scored 23 points to lead six Raptors in double figures in Toronto's victory, its fifth consecutive game without All-Star forward Chris Bosh.

Chris Wilcox scored 28 points and Kevin Durant had 20 for the slumping Seattle SuperSonics, who have lost eight of nine and are on pace to finish with the worst record in franchise history.

76ers 119, Bucks 97

MILWAUKEE -- Thaddeus Young scored 22 points, Samuel Dalembert added 18 points and 10 rebounds, and the Philadelphia 76ers coasted to their fourth straight win.

Charlie Villanueva had 25 points and eight rebounds for Milwaukee, which lost for the fifth time in six games.

The Bucks were without starting guard Mo Williams, who missed his third straight game with an abdominal strain, and forward Yi Jianlian, who also missed his third straight game with a sprained ankle.
