PHILADELPHIA -- Moments after the final horn sounded, the Twitter feed @didthesixerswin posted an update. For the 20th straight game, 140 characters werent needed, just two letters: No. In a city painfully familiar with sports futility, the Philadelphia 76ers have added another sorry chapter, this one for the record book. Mike Conley scored 19 points and Zach Randolph had 14 to lead the Memphis Grizzlies to a 103-77 win Saturday night, sending the 76ers to a franchise-tying 20th straight loss. The Sixers, who scored a season low in points, can set the team mark with a loss Monday night at Indiana. The Sixers also lost 20 straight games from Jan. 9, 1973-Feb. 11, 1973, in a 9-73 season. The NBA record for consecutive losses in a season is 26 set by the 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers. "We have to come out swinging," coach Brett Brown said. "Weve got to compete." Theyve absorbed their share of blows, and more may be coming: Over the next six games, the Sixers (15-51) play only one team with a losing record, the Knicks on Friday, and they are on a six-game winning streak. Michael Carter-Williams led the Sixers with 23 points and Thaddeus Young had 20. "This is not slit-your-wrist time. This is not even close to that," Brown said. "This is about building a program and understanding the short-term pain for a lot of long-term gain. Thats my vision. Thats how I approach it." As the NBA season tipped off, the over-under in Las Vegas for total wins for the 76ers this year was 16.5, the lowest of any team in the league. They stunned the league with a 3-0 start, including an opening-night win over the Miami Heat, and won four straight road games from Dec. 29-Jan. 4. Outside of those spurts, the Sixers have played down to their preseason projection as one of the NBAs worst. "Any win we have right now would be considered an upset," Brown said. "Thats the way its played out at this stage." The Sixers last won on Jan. 29 on former guard Evan Turners buzzer-beater at Boston. Theyve lost a team-record 16 straight home games, last winning at the Wells Fargo Center on Jan. 15. "I try to ignore the comments about us losing however many straight," Carter-Williams said. The 53-year-old Brown was part of three NBA title teams with San Antonio as an assistant and won another with the Spurs when he served in the basketball operations department in 1998-99. Brown is used to a winning program at San Antonio, so hes not familiar with starting from the bottom. But the Sixers realize its not an overnight process and gave him a four-year contract to turn things around. "Ive been asked by so many people, Why would you take the job and screw up your coaching percentage?" he said. "As if I care about that. I knew what I was getting in to." The free-falling Sixers are gaining fast on Milwaukee (13-53) for the worst record in the NBA. Unlike Friday nights loss against Indiana when they never led, the Sixers held an early edge against Memphis and played a competitive first half. The Grizzlies were coming off a 99-86 loss at Toronto on Friday and needed some time to warm up in Philly. Once they got going, they became just the latest team to stomp the Sixers. "Its scary because theyre looking to get a win and theyre going to do whatever it takes to get one," Conley said. Conley did his part to avert an upset, scoring nine points during Memphis 15-6 run to open the second half that stretched the lead to 18. He kept the lead rolling with a 3-pointer and a fast-break layup off a turnover for a 67-46 lead. The Grizzlies, winners of 12 of 16, had 13 players score and their 29-point lead in the fourth was their largest of the season. Even a bit of an off night was enough for Memphis to cruise: The Grizzlies made only 4 of 15 3-pointers, were outrebounded, and had 22 turnovers. Marc Gasol scored 11 points, Ed Davis had 11 rebounds, and the Grizzlies had 27 assists on 38 baskets. "Its a good rhythm, but its not where we want to be yet," Gasol said. "Its always on the good side. Its always better than losing, thats just for sure." Just ask the Sixers. NOTES: The 76ers sent F Arnett Moultrie, the 27th overall pick in the 2012 draft, to the D-League. He played only 12 games this season. "Hes a young player, hes a first-round draft pick, he needs to play," Brown said. Jerry Rice Jersey .J. -- The Houston Astros had the No. Tom Rathman Jersey .

The start of the first round at the Montgomerie Maxx Royal was delayed three hours due to lightning and flooding on the course, leading to an eventual suspension for darkness. The first round is scheduled to get back underway at 1:00 a.m. ET Friday, with the second round scheduled to begin at 3:05 a.m. Casey and Fichardt, who each have a victory on the European Tour this season, were both through 14 holes when play was halted. They were joined by Steve Webster atop the leaderboard. Webster completed 12 holes before the suspension. Ricardo Gonzalez and Thorbjorn Olesen were two of just 15 players to complete their rounds on Thursday and set the clubhouse mark at 6-under 66. Also at 6-under while still on the course were Rafael Cabrera-Bello, Ricardo Santos, George Coetzee, Peter Uihlein, Thomas Bjorn and Justin Walters. Race to Dubai leader Henrik Stenson was among a group of players tied for 18th place at 4-under. Tiger Woods, who is playing his first stroke-play event since the Tour Championship on the PGA Tour in September, was playing alongside Stenson and was 1-under through 10 holes. Casey raced out of the gate with an eagle at the first, and followed that with a birdie at the second. He traded a birdie at the fourth with a bogey at the fifth to remain at 3-under. The Irish Open winner then reeled off four birdies in a five-hole span from the ninth to reach 7-under andd race to the top of the leaderboard.dddddddddddd. He parred the 14th to remain there before play was halted for the day. "I really thought youve got to get off to a quick one with the two very, very reachable par fives in the first four holes and I did exactly that by knocking a driver and 3-wood to the first and holing it for eagle," said Casey. "It was foot flat to the floor today and just fire at the pins, take advantage of the soft conditions weve got and see what happens." Fichardt, who won the Africa Open, started on the back nine and followed an opening par with three straight birdies. He added a pair of gains from the 15th to make the turn at 5-under. He later poured in back-to-back birdies at the third and fourth to claim his piece of the lead. He then parred the fifth, his final hole of the day. Webster also played bogey-free golf through his 12 holes, notching seven birdies to grab his share of the lead. Gonzalez and Olesen each had two bogeys in their rounds, but Olesen countered his mistakes with eight birdies, while Gonzalez had an eagle and six birdies. NOTES: This is the first time the European Tour has played in Turkey ... Round two tees and tee times will be the same as in the first round draw ... Stenson currently leads Graeme McDowell by 145,865 euros in the Race to Dubai. McDowell is not in the field this week ... The top 60 players on the Race to Dubai at the end of this event qualify for the European Tours season-ending DP Wor
