| Sixers - Celtics 95-90 [Iguodala 28pts vs Garnett 18pts] |
 |
BOSTON, March 24, 2008 (AP) -- The
Philadelphia 76ers are closing in on a
playoff berth, and now they have a record
they can be proud of, too.
Andre Iguodala scored 10 straight points
during a 19-0 run that brought Philadelphia
back from a double-digit, fourth-quarter
deficit Monday night, and the 76ers beat the
Boston Celtics 95-90 to move above .500 for
the first time this season.
"It shows how hard we've worked to get
back,'' said Iguodala, who finished with 28
points. "But I think we still have to have
that mentality like we're a team that's still
under .500 and still fighting. It's not over
yet. We've gotten to a point where we want to
be, which is over .500, but we still don't
have an 'X' by our name'' to signify a
playoff berth.
Eddie House's 3-pointer gave Boston an 80-69
lead with 8:20 to play, but the Celtics
didn't score again until Pierce hit a free
throw with 1:38 left. By that time, the
Sixers were on their way to their 18th win in
23 tries, improving their record to 36-35 and
moving them into postseason contention.
"They are making a good run at the playoffs
over the last month and a half,'' Celtics
forward Paul Pierce said. "They will be a
dangerous team in the playoffs.''
The Sixers won just five of their first 18
games and sat 18-30 seven weeks ago. But with
Monday's win, they pulled ahead of Toronto
and into sixth place in the Eastern
Conference, a game behind fifth-place
Washington.
Beating the top team in the NBA also gave
them a jolt of confidence.
"It's huge when you come in here and win a
game like this against Boston, it does a lot
for us,'' coach Maurice Cheeks said. "We
still have a long way to go. This is just one
step to try and get to where we want to be.''
Andre Miller scored 20, Thaddeus Young had 16
points and nine rebounds, and Samuel
Dalembert grabbed 12 boards for Philadelphia.
Kevin Garnett scored 18, Leon Powe had 16 and
Ray Allen scored 14 for Boston, which lost
its second straight after winning 14 out of
15. The Celtics long ago clinched a playoff
berth, and they played as if it didn't matter
down the stretch.
"These games are crucial to us, too,''
Garnett said. "We are trying to establish
something, and a rhythm going into the
playoffs. So these are big games for us, too,
just as it is for all the other teams coming
in here.''
Boston never trailed in the first quarter and
led for all but a few minutes of the second.
But it was tied at 66 near the end of the
third before House hit a 3-pointer, and Glen
Davis made a couple of free throws to give
the Celtics a five-point lead after three.
House hit another 3 early in the fourth to
make it 78-68, and he added a left-side
jumper to give the Celtics an 80-69 lead with
8:20 left. The Sixers scored the next 19
points - five by Young, four by Louis
Williams and a steal and emphatic breakaway
dunk by Iguodala to tie it.
Iguodala finished off another fast break to
give the Sixers an 82-80 lead, then hit one
of two free throws, another steal-and-dunk,
another free throw and a fallaway jumper to
make it 88-80.
Notes: Powe had 12 points and five rebounds
off the bench in the first half for the
Celtics. Pierce was 3-for-4 from 3-point
range. ... The first half ended 52-48 after a
controversial goaltending call on Garnett on
Reggie Evans' shot from the lane. Celtics
coach Doc Rivers was livid. ... It was
Boston's first game back since a five-game
road trip in which it went 4-1, including the
first sweep of the Texas Triangle - San
Antonio, Houston and Dallas - since 1987. ...
Three-hundred members of the U.S. military
attended the game, compliments of fans who
donated tickets, and were recognized with a
standing ovation by the crowd and some of the
players. One member of the U.S. Navy, Wymon
J. Anderson, won $5,000 worth of vision
correction surgery when he hit a free throw
and a 3-pointer - blindfolded. ... James
Posey missed the game to attend to a family
matter, but is expected to be back for
Wednesday's game against Phoenix.

PHILADELPHIA -- A dash of perfection was
exactly what Detroit needed to go from the
brink of a disastrous deficit to back in
control of the series.
All it took was 12 minutes.
Tayshaun Prince scored 23 points and made all
but one shot from the field, and the Pistons
played with a purpose and dominated the
second half to beat the Philadelphia 76ers
93-84 on Sunday night, tying the best-of-7
Eastern Conference playoff series at 2-2.
"Everybody knows that we are good under
pressure," said guard Chauncey Billups said.
"I hate that we put ourselves in this
position a lot of times."
Game 5 is Tuesday night at Detroit.
The Pistons squashed all that chatter about
heading home with a series deficit, erasing a
10-point halftime deficit by outscoring the
76ers 34-16 in the third quarter.
That combined 4-for-14 first half from
Billups and Rasheed Wallace? Forgotten after
they drilled consecutive 3-pointers in the
period. Prince -- 11-for-12 from the floor --
followed with a baseline layup to cap an 11-0
spurt and give the Pistons their first lead
of the game, 47-46.
Wallace, perhaps fired up after he was T'd up
in the final seconds of the first half, hit
two more 3s that whipped a 14-point deficit
all the way around to a 60-53 lead.
"I believe in the guys who are in our locker
room," Billups said.
Wallace was 5-for-12 from the field, but sank
all three 3s in the third. Billups' 4-for-16
was an afterthought compared to his
nine-point, three-assist quarter. Prince was,
of course, a perfect 3-for-3.
"Once Sheed got going from the outside,
things really started to work in our favor,"
Prince said.
The Pistons picked up the defensive pressure
and forced seven turnovers in the third.
Detroit played like the 76ers did in Game 3,
with active hands in the lane and pressure up
top that rattled the upstart home team.
"The game turned just like that," 76ers coach
Maurice Cheeks said. "We gave them life and
we gave them life in the third quarter."
The Sixers pumped up the crowd when they
played season highlights set to Journey's
Don't Stop Believin'. Then Detroit guaranteed
its season won't unexpectedly cut-to-black.
All the euphoria the Sixers created after a
20-point win in Game 3 only grew as they
raced to a 14-point first-half lead. The
younger, faster, confident Sixers were taking
it to the aging, slumping Pistons yet again.
Then the real Pistons showed up in the third
quarter, not the ones who tossed in the towel
on Friday.
They haven't reached five straight Eastern
Conference finals by losing two straight road
games to the seventh seed in the first round.
"It doesn't matter what round it is, when you
go down 3-1, you put yourselves in a tough
situation," Prince said.
Wallace finished with 20 points and 10
rebounds, and Richard Hamilton bounced back
from a 1-for-10 first half to finish with 18
points. Billups also scored 18 points.
Antonio McDyess did not start but scored 10
points a day after he had surgery to repair a
broken nose. He never thought about sitting
out and wore a mask to protect the nose
broken in the third quarter of Game 3.
Nothing can protect Andre Iguodala from more
criticism about his awful playoff series.
Cheeks was peppered with more questions about
the pressing need for the slumping forward to
start scoring big baskets. Iguodala showed
early promise and made his first three shots,
then collapsed again and finished with only
12 points.
Unlike the Pistons stars, Iguodala never got
untracked in the second half. He missed 10 of
his final 11 shots and misfired on several
wild attempts when he tried to seemingly take
a 3-1 series lead all by himself.
"We've got to work harder on the game plan
and I've got to be shooting better shots,"
Iguodala said.
Samuel Dalembert had 12 points and 12
rebounds. Andre Miller and Willie Green each
scored 13 points.
Iguodala appeared to have ended his slump
when he faked Jarvis Hayes, spun away from
his fallen defender and buried the jumper for
his prettiest bucket of the series. The play
was nothing more than a brief flash of his
regular-season self and he dropped to
11-for-49 from the floor in the first four
games.
"I'm not going to go out and put pressure on
him that he has to score 25, 30 points for us
to win," Cheeks said.
Rodney Carney drilled a 3 and Miller's layup
made it 45-31 for Philly's largest lead of
the half.
Wallace, whose jumper early in the first
matched his point total for Game 3, screamed
at the official after he was called for an
offensive foul and was quickly whistled for a
technical. Wallace continued to bark at the
refs even as his teammates tried to block him
out on the bench and prevent a possible
ejection.
The Pistons trailed 46-36 at the break, but
perhaps the tone was set to take off in the
second half.

February 20th, 2000
First Union Center
Philadelphia, PA

/200002200PHI.html
Statline: 18 points, 7 assists, 5 blocks,
7-15 FG, 4-5 FT
One year ago at the same arena against the
same Philadelphia 76ers team, Allen Iverson
had embarrassed Kobe Bryant and the Los
Angeles Lakers dropping 41 points while
leading his team to a 105-90 victory. Kobe
tried to make sure it would not happen again.
However, Bryant picked up 2 early fouls in
the 1st quarter guarding the speedy Allen
Iverson. With Kobe in foul trouble in the 1st
quarter, Iverson went 4-7 with Derek Fisher
guarding him. Even though Bryant came back in
the 2nd quarter, he did not guard Iverson the
remaining of the half in order to not pick
the 3rd foul. Iverson took advantage and
scored 16 first half points on 7-14 shooting.
Kobe Bryant made sure he would never score
again in the 2nd half.
Tightening up the screws, Bryant chased AI
everywhere on the court denying him the ball
at every possible chance and forcing him to
pass the ball when he did get it. Bryant
played remarkable defense in the 2nd half on
the superstar putting up 4 blocks (5 total, 4
which were on Iverson) and frustrating him
into 0-11 shooting. His defense held Iverson
completely scoreless in the 2nd half. When he
wasn't playing defense, he was making clutch
baskets down the stretch including a game
tying assist to Shaquille O'neal to tie the
game at 81, a clutch fadeaway over Ratliff,
and a go ahead runner to put LA up 85-81. It
was back to defense afterwards. After Eric
Snow hit a three to close the gap to 1 and
the Lakers came up dry on the next
possession, it set the stage for the biggest
play of the game.
Allen Iverson, known for his 4th quarter
play, had the ball on the very final
possession with 11 seconds remaining in the
game. Driving in the lane he went up only to
have his shot spiked away by none other than
Mr. Bryant who just had his 5th rejection of
the game. Frustrated, Bryant was pushed out
of bounds by Iverson and extended the lead to
3 (87-84) with 2 free throws. Attempting to
bring the game to OT, Iverson had his final
attempt blocked by Shaquille O'neal ending
one of his wosre games of the season.
Iverson, who shot 7-14 in the 1st half,
finished 7-25 from the field overall thanks
to the sticky defense of Kobe Bryant. This
season was arguably Kobe Bryant's best
defensive season overall. Although Bryant
didn't have eye popping stats in the game,
his defense in the 2nd half was the
difference maker in the game.
Other Notes: The language is in DUTCH :(
