Allen Iverson stole the spotlight from Jarvis Hayes.

Iverson stole Hayes' inbounds pass and drove for a layup with just two-tenths of a second left in overtime, giving the Philadelphia 76ers to a 116-114 victory over the Washington Wizards.

Before his second game-winning shot this month, Iverson cut in front of Gilbert Arenas, stole the ball and beat him downcourt for the go-ahead hoop.

"I kind of figured that they were trying to give Gilbert the ball, so they could get some kind of penetration from him," Iverson said. "It seemed like Hayes couldn't get the ball in and he (got) kind of panicky. I just stayed as close (to Arenas) as I could. Once Hayes threw it, my eyes lit up. I knew I had it."

Despite his share of shooting difficulties after a 16-point first half, Iverson produced 28 points on 9-of-26 shooting and 13 assists without a turnover.

"I'm happy that I didn't get any turnovers," Iverson said. "I know with the game that I play, I'm going to get turnovers. I play so aggressive. If I turn it over, so be it. I just don't want it over five turnovers a game."

A three-time steals champion, Iverson also extended his streak to 31 straight games with a steal on the crucial final play, helping Philadelphia improve to 3-0 in overtime this season.

"Iverson is an all-NBA player and he made an all-NBA play," said Wizards assistant Mike O'Koren, who assumed the coaching duties after coach Eddie Jordan was hospitalized for a blood clot in his left leg Thursday. "It would have been tough to get a foul unless it's really a hack. It just bad execution on our part, but he (Iverson) makes those type of plays."

Iverson's steal and layup upstaged the clutch efforts of Hayes, who drilled a 3-pointer in traffic at the regulation horn to tie the score at 103-103.

Marc Jackson afforded Hayes and the Wizards the chance to tie the score, missing two free throws that could have given Philadelphia a five-point margin with 9.6 seconds left in regulation.

"It was two seconds on the clock when I got the ball," Hayes said. "I got the ball, and I knew I had time for one more dribble. I tried to jump and get squared. When I got in the air, I put it up."

Trailing 114-111 with time winding down in overtime, the Wizards found Hayes near the top of the key and he buried another 3-pointer to pull Washington even with 26 seconds left.

Moments later, however, Iverson stole the ball -- and the show -- from Hayes as the 76ers won their second straight game on the heels of a three-game slide.

Kyle Korver scored a career-high 26 points and drained six 3-pointers for the 76ers, who improved to 16-4 in their last 20 meetings with the Wizards.

Korver, who averaged 4.5 points in 74 games as a rookie last season, has scored in double figures in seven of his last eight games.

"I am a lot more confident," Korver said. "I feel like I have improved quite a bit. Last year, I was just labeled as a shooter. That is still my strong point, but scouts can't say that I am just a shooter anymore. They have to say, 'He can drive a little bit, defend' and other things."

Despite his two critical missed free throws, Jackson scored 21 points, including four in the extra session.

"They picked me up," Jackson said. "I missed those two foul shots, but it is part of the game. They came with that big-time shot to force overtime. It hurts, but we had to move on."

John Salmons, who led Philadelphia's bench with a season-high 16 points, hit a jumper from the foul line with 8:33 left in the second quarter to give the club its largest lead at 61-49.

The Sixers remained in front until Arenas, who scored 23 points, hit a 3-pointer with 4:04 left in the fourth quarter to tie it at 93-93. Hayes scored 18 points and grabbed seven rebounds off the bench for Washington, which was in search of a four-game winning streak for the first time since the 2002-03 season.

Antawn Jamison, who scored 27 points and grabbed 15 rebounds, was one of three Wizards with a double-double. Former 76er Larry Hughes scored 12 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter and added 12 rebounds nine assists.

Jordan, who is expected to remain hospitalized for the next few days, is also slated to miss Sunday's game at Toronto before returning to the Wizards' bench Monday against New Jersey.

"I spoke to Eddie this morning and he's doing a lot better," O'Koren said. "He's coming along. It's going to take some time for him to get rid of this thing."

Allen Iverson scored nine of his 26 points in the fourth quarter as the Philadelphia 76ers notched their first victory of the season and their first win in Houston in nearly nine years, 114-100 over the Rockets.

Iverson, who also handed out 15 assists, hit a 10-foot jumper to cap a 15-2 run that gave the 76ers a 99-92 lead with 6:15 to play. The Rockets cut the deficit to 101-97, but Iverson drained a three-pointer with 3:48 remaining and Houston got no closer than seven the rest of the way.

"We executed at the end, whereas previous games we didn't do that," said Iverson, who committed no turnovers. "This is a confidence boost for us. We played with control when we got the lead in the fourth quarter and we played solid defense all game long."

Jerry Stackhouse scored 17 points and Terry Cummings added a season-high 16 in 17 minutes off the bench for Philadelphia (1-5), which ended an eight-game slide in Houston, winning there
for the first time since January 7th, 1989. Larry Brown notched is first victory as coach of the Sixers, who shot 62 percent (49-of-79) from the field.

"We played as well as we could possibly play," Brown said. "Everybody just played great. This is huge to beat a great team like Houston on their home court."

"We're getting better," Cummings said. "The last few games, we were in it with about five or six minutes to go and let it get away. Tonight, we executed at the end."

Clyde Drexler scored 23 points and Charles Barkley added 19 for Houston (3-3), which had won the last 11 meetings with Philadelphia. Olajuwon chipped in 14 points and 15 rebounds but made just 6-of-19 shots as Houston shot just 44 percent (36-of-81).

"This was an embarrassing loss," Olajuwon said. "They played well and made some tough shots, but we also missed some easy baskets. The good news is that it's very early, and we have the opportunity to recover."

Sixers rookie forward Tim Thomas suffered a bruised tailbone in the first quarter on a drive to the basket when he was knocked to the floor by Rockets guard Matt Maloney. Thomas, whose head
and lower body were immobilized, was motionless for 10 minutes before he was taken off on a stretcher. X-rays were negative and he is expected to fly with the team to Dallas for Thursday's
game.

Houston owned a 90-84 edge on a dunk by Kevin Willis with 10:42 to play. But Philadelphia's Clarence Weatherspoon, who scored 14 points, sank a 15-foot jumper 17 seconds later to spark the
15-2 burst. The 76ers outscored the Rockets in the final period, 32-14.

"You can't give up 32 fourth-quarter points and expect to win," Barkley said. "We just couldn't get over the hump. We've got to play better defense."

Weatherspoon made 6-of-8 shots and Cummings was 7-of-8 for the Sixers, who lost their first five games of the season by an average of 10.8 points. Jim Jackson scored 15 points and
Derrick Coleman finished with 14 and eight boards as Philadelphia beat the Rockets for the first time since January 8th, 1992.

"When you give up 62 percent shooting at home, that's not winning basketball," said Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich. "You've got to be a defensive team to win in this league. We just didn't do it."

The Rockets are at .500 for the first time since they were 16-16 on January 12th, 1993. The last time they were at .500 in November was 1992, Tomjanovich's first season as Houston coach.

The game was tight throug the first three quarters, with neither team able to gain a double-digit lead.

Drexler, who had seven assists and six rebounds, scored 11 points in the third period to help Houston to an 86-82 edge heading into the final period. But Drexler was held to three points in the fourth as the Rockets dropped their second straight home game.

"This is very disappointing. We have a very good team, but we're not playing well," he said. "This team has to learn to smell the blood and put them away."

Barkley, a former Sixer, pulled down nine boards as Houston outrebounded Philadelphia, 40-32.

The 76ers might want to go into halftime behind if they want to turn their season around.


Playing with a big lead has only led to big losses -- and has coach Eddie Jordan's job on the rocks. Chris Bosh and the Raptors were only the latest team to rally from a double-digit deficit and beat Philadelphia.

Bosh made the go-ahead three-point play with 8.4 seconds left and had 29 points and nine rebounds to lead Toronto to a 108-106 victory over the 76ers on Friday night.

Andrea Bargnani scored 23 points to help the Raptors rally from a 13-point hole and win their third straight.

The Sixers have led by 10-plus points in each of their last three losses and are 7-8 this season when they hold a double-digit lead at any point.

The 76ers wasted an 18-point lead in a loss to Gilbert Arenas and the Wizards on Tuesday. They watched an 11-point halftime lead evaporate against the Raptors in the third quarter.

"We're jumping out and holding leads and we just can't hold them," guard Allen Iverson said. "We play well for a while and then it seems we just lose focus."

Bosh was fouled by Sixers center Samuel Dalembert on a drive to the basket and made the twisting, off-balance layup. He sank the free throw for a 108-106 lead.

Lou Williams' last-chance 3-pointer was off the mark, dropping the Sixers to 4-12 at home.

"We fight to the end, but for whatever reason, it never happens," Williams said.

Before the game, Sixers team president Ed Stefanski refused to say Jordan's job was safe for the rest of the season with the team off to a 10-25 start.

Andre Iguodala fell just shy of a triple-double with 17 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists. Thaddeus Young had 18 points and 13 rebounds, Williams scored 23 points and Iverson had a season-high 22. Sixers forward Elton Brand missed the game with a stomach virus.

Young's driving layup late in the fourth rolled off the front of the rim, but a charging Dalembert was there for the dunk that gave the Sixers a 106-105 lead.

Bosh finished off the Sixers from the inside after the Raptors rallied from the outside.

"Sam is a good defender," Bosh said of the winner. "I just had to size him up and see what he was going to do."

The Raptors, who have made a 3-pointer in 897 straight games, hit their first ones of the game in the third on back-to-back 3s from Jarrett Jack and Bargnani that sliced the deficit under 10.

Marco Belinelli capped an 11-3 run with his first 3 of the game that tied it at 83.

Jrue Holiday's baseline jumper helped send the Sixers into the fourth with a small lead.

It didn't last long.

The only surprise was how long it took the Raptors to start making 3s after an 0-for-5 first half. The Sixers are last in the NBA in 3-point defense, allowing teams to shoot a whopping 42 percent against them.

The Raptors finished 5 for 15 from long range -- but each one in the second half did in the Sixers.

It's losses like this one that have Stefanski refusing to endorse Jordan. But Stefanski held the entire organization accountable for a slide that has left the Sixers with the second-worst record in the Eastern Conference.

"It's not just the head coach," Stefanski said before tip-off. "It's the coaches, the players and myself. No one is happy here."

Stefanski, who has yet to turn the Sixers into contenders in 2-plus seasons as president and general manager, took some of the blame for the woeful start.

"If you're looking at the record, I haven't done a real good job so far," he said.

Jordan might be running out of time to get the Sixers turned around.

"We're not getting the job done and we're going to have to get it done," Stefanski said.
