Despite sitting Tony Parker, Tiago Splitter, and Danny Green, the San Antonio Spurs - paced by an inexplicable 22 points from Austin Daye - pushed the Philadelphia 76ers to the brink of humiliation of Monday by extending their losing streak to 25 games. 

San Antonio, winners of 14-straight, a record in the Gregg Popovich era, relied wholly on its bench, but this one was never in doubt. 

The Sixers are now just a loss in Houston shy of matching the 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers for the longest losing streak in league history. 

It's unlikely Kevin McHale will be as generous with his lineup on Thursday.
