Globetrotters Lose

The Harlem Globetrotters’ 24-year, 8,829-game winning streak is over.

It ended Tuesday night in a 91-85 loss against a team led by Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who scored 34 points.

It was the Globetrotters’ first loss since Jan. 15, 1971, when they lost 100-99 to the New Jersey Reds.

The Globetrotters are currently touring Europe, and are facing Abdul-Jabbar’s team in an 11-game series. They won the first two games of the tour, 91-90 in Zurich, Switzerland, on Friday and 58-52 in Halle, Germany, on Saturday.
