layup with 2.2 seconds to play, to lead the
Philadelphia 76ers to a 105-103 victory over the
Orlando Magic on Friday night.
Grant Hill, who led the Magic with 25 points, tied the game at 103 with a short bank shot, but he missed from 12 feet as the buzzer sounded. Kyle Korver had 28 points on 10-of-13 shooting for Philadelphia, which shot 56.1 percent for the game.
Hedo Turkoglu had 15 points and nine rebounds and
Dwight Howard finished with 14 points and nine rebounds for the Magic, who struggled all night to find a defensive answer for Iverson and Korver. Iverson had 19 points and Korver had 15 in the first half when the Sixers were nearly unstoppable from the perimeter. Only 14 of Philadelphia's 53 points came inside the paint and it helped the Sixers build as much as a seven-point lead.
Orlando who has been playing well, taking out the Bulls in their opener, lost a close one to the 76ers... Nice to see Grant Hill finally doing well...and Dwight Howard is a future MVP...
