WASHINGTON -- The Philadelphia 76ers might not have a big-name player. Theyve still become one of the hottest teams in the NBA with their brand of team-oriented basketball. Philadelphia won for the eighth time in nine games Saturday night, beating the Washington Wizards 103-90. Lou Williams came off the bench to score 24 points, and Andre Iguodala added a season-high 23. But the more important stat was the eight turnovers, which tied Philadelphias season low and continued a trend. The 76ers entered the game with the best turnover mark in the league. "We dont have a superstar," Iguodala said. "So we dont get those foul calls, the whistles as much as the teams that do have one. So we have to do the little things right." Thaddeus Young tied his season high with 18 points and Jrue Holiday scored 13 for Philadelphia, which got 46 points off the bench, compared with 15 for the Wizards. "That was a professional, workmanlike win for us tonight," 76ers coach Doug Collins said. Collins has stressed the importance of turnovers to his team, and it showed against Washington. Philadelphia scored 27 points off turnovers, while Washington had just six. So how do the 76ers keep possession? "Taking care of the ball like its our children or something like that," Young said. "Weve got to make sure we dont turn the ball over so teams cant get out on the break on us and use our own medicine on us." Philadelphia displayed the type of teamwork and ball control that has been sorely lacking for the Wizards, who have the leagues worst record at 1-11. Washington had 18 turnovers -- 13 in the first half. JaVale McGee scored a season-high 23 points for the Wizards and tied his career high with 18 rebounds. McGee made his first eight shots from the floor and finished 11 of 13. Nick Young also scored a season-high 27 points. John Wall narrowly missed a triple-double. He scored 19 points with a season-high nine rebounds and tied his season high with nine assists, but also had a season-worst eight turnovers, seven in the first half. "I feel like I lost the game," Wall said. It was the 76ers second win in two nights over Washington, following a 120-89 victory Friday night in Philadelphia. The Wizards looked like they were out for some revenge when the game started, leading 26-23 after the first quarter. However, poor decisions and sloppy play led to 13 Washington turnovers in the first half, and it caught up to the Wizards in the second quarter. Philadelphia took advantage to steadily pull ahead, outscoring Washington 29-14 in the second quarter. "The first half looked like Space Jam where everyone lost their talents and couldnt do anything there for a while," Washington coach Flip Saunders said. "It sets the tone. They get into a comfort zone -- especially when you just lost to a team by 30. They get so comfortable." The 76ers extended the lead in the second half to as many as 20 points early in the fourth quarter. Washington made a late push to make the margin more respectable, but after Philadelphia took the second-quarter lead the outcome was never in doubt. The Wizards did keep the 76ers from making a little bit of history. Six of Philadelphias wins have been by at least 20 points, and no team has ever won seven of its first 12 games by 20 points or more, according to STATS LLC. "We dont want to allow them to get close," Williams said. "I think thats one of the big things thats been huge for us early on, when we have substantial leads to try to keep them, and it was the same tonight." NOTES: Wizards F Andray Blatche (sprained right shoulder) was out for the third straight game. Washington coach Flip Saunders said he wasnt sure when Blatche would return. ... The Wizards 14 points in the second quarter marked the 20th time in Washingtons 48 quarters this season they have scored fewer than 20 points. ... Philadelphia won four straight against Washington. ... It was the ninth straight game the 76ers held their opponent to fewer than 100 points. . Jackson just knows the absence of the shot-blocking centre is a big negative in the middle of the two-time champions defence. Bynum, who has little prior history of hard fouls, missed Sundays game against Portland and will sit out Tuesdays meeting with Phoenix under the suspension announced Sunday morning by the NBA.

Even at 34-year-old, Jarome Iginla remains a premier option.

With four straight victories, Germany is already the runaway leader in Group A and a home match against the pools bottom side, which is yet to earn a point or score a goal in qualifying, shouldnt pose any problems. "We want to remain as much in command as we have been so far, and qualify as quickly as possible for Euro 2012," team manager Oliver Bierhoff said. . Trailing by 12 with a little over three minutes to play, Wade and James shared the load during a game-altering 16-2 run, which included James putting in a go-ahead jumper with 29.5 seconds remaining. Derrick Rose had a chance to tie it at the free throw line, but missed his second try at the stripe.GENEVA -- Roger Federer got the day off on Saturday, and now he needs to play on Sunday to help Switzerland advance to its first Davis Cup final in 22 years. Without Federer, who was rested, Switzerland lost in doubles to Italy and had its lead cut to 2-1 in their semifinal. The Swiss paired Stan Wawrinka with Marco Chiudinelli instead, and they lost 7-5, 3-6, 5-7, 6-3, 6-2 against Fabio Fognini and Simone Bolelli at Palexpo indoor arena. "Roger suggested that he should not play just because he had a lot of matches this year," Swiss captain Severin Luethi said. Federer, who played in the U.S. Open semifinals last weekend, won his teams first point on Friday by beating Bolelli in straight sets. The Swiss No. 1 can clinch victory in the tie against Fognini in Sundays opening reverse singles. "Hes going to be fresh, and its an advantage for us," Luethi said. France awaits in the final on Nov. 21-23 after it swept to a winning 3-0 lead against two-time defending champion Czech Republic in Paris on Saturday. Switzerlands loss in doubles might have pleased more than 18,000 Sunday ticket-holders who will see their No. 1 play with a finals place on the line. "It is great for the Swiss fans and I am happy for them," said Wawrinka, who will play Bolelli iin a decider if Federer loses.dddddddddddd "The positive thing is we are up 2-1," said Wawrinka, the Australian Open champion. "We are not worried for tomorrow." Federers absence did not surprise the Italians, who recalled he also skipped doubles when the teams last met in a 2009 World Group playoff. "For us, it was still very tough today," Bolelli said. "Its still complicated but anything can happen." Watched by Federer, the Swiss pair seemed in control until losing serve to trail 4-2 in the fourth set. In the decider, the Italians broke Chiudinellis serve for a 2-1 lead and held off Swiss pressure to hold in the next game. On Fogninis serve, Italy took its third match-point chance when Bolelli put away an overhead at the net. The 3-hour, 57-minute five-setter was nothing unusual for the Wawrinka-Chiudinelli pairing on this court. They were involved in the longest doubles match in Davis Cup history at Palexpo in February 2013. Then, the Swiss lost 24-22 in the deciding set after a 7-hour, 1-minute marathon against Czech pair Tomas Berdych and Lukas Rosol. Switzerland has never won the Davis Cup and reached its only final in 1992, losing to a United States team of Andre Agassi, Jim Courier, John McEnroe and Pete Sampras.
