A night after saying his team ''stinks,'' Michael Jordan scored 30 points as the Washington Wizards defeated the 76ers 94-87 on Wednesday night in Philadelphia.

Allen Iverson scored 40 points and Derrick Coleman added 15 for the Sixers. The defending Eastern Conference champions have lost two straight after winning seven in a row.

Washington won for just the second time in its last 10 games.

After Tuesday night's 94-75 loss at Cleveland, Jordan ripped his teammates for their lack of urgency and lackluster play on defense.

''I don't see anyone covering my back as everyone probably expected me to cover theirs,'' Jordan said.

Jordan came in shooting a career-low 40.2 percent and went 11-of-27 from the floor.

The Sixers went more than four minutes without a point in the fourth quarter, and the Wizards opened an 87-76 lead with 4:13 left, capped by consecutive jumpers from Jordan and Richard Hamilton, who had 28 points.

A free throw by Jordan made it 88-76 with 2:58 left, and Philadelphia didn't get closer than five points the rest of the game.
