Philadelphia coach Larry Brown arrived at the Alamodome Tuesday night with his roster gutted by injuries.

So what did his good friend Gregg Popovich do?

He gutted his own team.

In a surprise move, Popovich staged Senior Citizens Night: Any Spur age 32 and over received the night off.

David Robinson, Steve Smith, Terry Porter, Danny Ferry and Mark Bryant ? the only injured player in the group ? all comfortably watched the Spurs' 94-75 win over the Sixers from the bench.
