- The Atlantic Division is heading down to the wire. It's also heading down to the bottom.
Allen Iverson scored 38 points for Philadelphia, which beat Boston 97-93 on Sunday to snap a three-game losing streak and move three games behind the Celtics in the NBA's worst division. At one game below .500, Philadelphia could finish with the Eastern Conference's third seed or miss the playoffs altogether.
"The playoffs have started for a lot of teams and we haven't joined in the fray," said Boston coach Doc Rivers, hoarse after a game in which his team fell behind 26 points in the first quarter. "We really don't get it. I'm telling you, we don't."
Philadelphia moved a game ahead of Orlando for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Samuel Dalembert had 18 points and 15 rebounds for the Sixers, who played their third consecutive game with Chris Webber out because of a sprained left shoulder.
Iverson started and played 44 minutes, getting nine assists and six steals, despite a strained groin that put him out of the fourth quarter in Friday night's game against Dallas.
"Early in the game, we buckled down," he said. "I'm glad we did, because it shows we can play defense with the best of them."
Paul Pierce had 26 points and 13 rebounds and Raef LaFrentz had 14 points and 13 rebounds for the Celtics, who were without Antoine Walker (bruised left knee). Rivers said Walker will probably miss Tuesday's game at Washington and perhaps the rest of the week.
"But, listen," Rivers said. "They didn't have Webber, so no excuse for us. Antoine had nothing to do with this one."
Boston won 10 of 11 after acquiring Walker at the trading deadline, and Sunday's game was moved to the afternoon and put on national television after the surge threw the teams into a fight for the division title. But the Sixers have fallen to the verge of the lottery, and Boston lost three in a row before beating the Atlanta Hawks -- the NBA's worst team -- on Friday.
"It's a big game: national TV," said Ricky Davis, who scored 27 off the bench for Boston. "It's very embarrassing."
The Celtics would earn the third seed with a division title. But Boston is just ½-game ahead of Indiana for home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
The Celtics trailed 38-12 with 15 seconds left in the first quarter, and it was still a double-digit deficit late in the fourth when Davis hit a 3-pointer with 6:39 left to make it 83-75. Pierce and Al Jefferson each hit a pair of free throws to complete a 7-0 run that made it a four-point game.
Boston made it 93-90 in the final minutes when Pierce scored on a finger-roll layin from underneath the basket and drew a foul. But he missed the free throw, then Iverson scored off a screen at the top of the key to give the Sixers a five-point lead with 22.7 seconds left.
The Celtics made just 5-of-20 shots and committed seven turnovers in the first quarter. Philadelphia made 5-of-12 from 3-point range in the first but just 1-of-9 in the second, when the Celtics scored eight straight to close the gap and then cut it to 10 on Pierce's 3-pointer in the final second of the half.
Game notes
Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell took part in the national anthem, making good on a Super Bowl bet he made with his Massachusetts counterpart, Mitt Romney. Both governors wore Patriots jerseys; Rendell's wife, Midge, a trained opera singer, helped him finish the song. ... Kyle Korver went 1-for-6 from 3-point range to set the 76ers record for 3-pointers in a season with 198. The old mark was held by Dana Barros, who made 197 in 1994-95. - Спорт
That wasn't a game-winning shot, that was a clutch shot.
I remember most of the time I watch sixers game. The ball is like a bomb that AI's team mates returning it to him. He is not a ball hog. It's just he can score and his team supports him from what he do best. His a 6'1 guard scoring almost 30+ every night. His not the greatest but when it comes to small guys he is definitely has to be considered.
Ai 5"10 homie ctfu
A.I is 6 ft tall
NBA fans and players don't ever forget a.I he change the NBA more than you know even if he got no ring he got fan 4 life and I'm 1 out of millions

@intae7777 YES, AGREED TOTALLY. That spin and shoot right there requires hell lot of strain on your knees. And so is the one at 5:24.
Iverson's a warrior.

@bombardsquads .......Ummm, have you ever looked up Allen Iverson's stats?!?! He actually averaged a respectable amount of assists per season.
Ahahahaa, at 6:12 jim o'brien wass like fuck...
Great video by the way!
he better find a team for next season
btw who's that davis in sixers uni? his good but where is he now?
@looneylaker7 i know right!! haha i was watchin this game live and was like dam!!??who dat!!??lol
@beyondmaterialistic nope, on espn, he said that he would agree to anything, even coming off the bench
@kiXzB No worries. I'm sure someone will sign the 3rd best player in history in career points (behind Wilt and MJ). lol
he got his respect, his awards, only 1 thing stands away from his greatness a ring so no doubt he want a championship team, miami(two words:salary cap), lakers (lakers sign brown and blake), celtics has to man guards same style as AI(rajon, nate, and ray-ray), iverson maybe in magic(just like 2001 when he got shot at the ring with matumbo but howard is much better), maybe mavericks, maybe back at nuggets
which year was this?
That Since Year is 2004 and 2005.
0:56 i thought i saw ray allen
That's Not Ray Allen That is Gary Payton.
josh davis had a decent game.... is he still around?
at 3:50 Ai only took one step and they called a travel.
Bunch of hackers
..
...so are you saying you have the whole game?>
@beyondmaterialistic thats not true man. he got signed to turkey because no nba teams wanted to sign him, this year in the nba its all about money man because there might be a lock out next season. but iverson publicly spoke and said that he didnt care if he came off the bench or not he just wanted to play but no one signed him. but he is playin in turkey now
