Philadelphia (5-16) are without injured guards Louis Williams (jaw) and Jrue Holiday (rotator cuff) and have now lost 10 games in a row for the first time since 2006.

Andre Iguodala led the way with 31 points for Philadelphia, who led for most of the first three quarters and had a 62-55 advantage with less than three minutes left in the third.

Denver made 11 three-pointers and 24 free throws, including a perfect 11-for-11 at the line from Billups, who added eight rebounds and eight assists.
