Game Story

PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- Once the New Jersey Nets started 
missing free throws, Allen Iverson finally made a shot.

Iverson's jumper with 7.2 seconds left forced overtime and
Corliss Williamson scored seven of his 15 points in the extra
session as the Philadelphia 76ers rallied for a 108-100 victory
over the Nets.

The Nets blew a six-point lead in the final 70 seconds of
regulation as Richard Jefferson and Alonzo Mourning each missed
two free throws that could have sealed the win on the same
possession.  New Jersey made its first 19 free throws and missed
its last seven.

"It's not so much how many you make, it's when you make them,"
Jefferson said.  "We didn't make them late.  When all is said
and done, (I have) to step up and make free throws."

"They did give us a break by missing those free throws, that
helped," Iverson said.  "The ball don't lie."

Iverson, who went without a basket in the first half and sank
just 5-of-15 shots, made the Nets pay, sinking a 15-footer to
tie it, 96-96.  It was the first basket in nearly 11 minutes for
Iverson, who scored 26 points.

"There was a big-time bucket by Allen to tie the game up at the
end of regulation," Sixers coach Jim O'Brien said.

Williamson took over from there, bulling his way past a
collection of Nets for a three-point play, an inside bucket and
two free throws that gave Philadelphia a 105-98 lead with 1:49
to go.  The Sixers led for just 18 seconds in the second half
but never trailed in overtime.

"There were some matchup problems out there and I tried to take
advantage of the situation," Williamson said.  "We were able to
get a few shots to fall inside. ... That was the key for us in
overtime.  We outmuscled them in the post and our guards took
over from there."

The game was a battle of attrition as both teams were playing
for the second straight night, missing players due to injury and
losing another in this one.  Philadelphia lost guard Aaron
McKie to a left rotator cuff strain and New Jersey lost center
Jason Collins to a sprained ankle.

"You have to be ready, because you never know what's going to
happen," Williamson said.  "Your star player could go down or
get into foul trouble.  You have to come in and have to make up
for those absences."

In addition, Nets forwards Eric Williams and Brian Scalabrine
fouled out and Sixers forward Kenny Thomas was disqualified.

Iverson finally got some scoring help as seven Sixers were in
double figures.  Marc Jackson scored 19 points and Kyle Korver
added 15 as Philadelphia snapped a three-game slide.

"We battled and did what we were supposed to do and we did it
correctly," Jackson said.  "I think we do some things great, but
we do more things horrible.  We have to do everything with
consistency."

Jefferson had 33 points and 10 rebounds but missed a 22-footer
at the regulation horn.  Williams scored 17 points and Mourning
added 16, nine boards and three blocks for the Nets, who fell to
1-1 in overtime.

"Any loss is tough, especially with the effort we put forth and
being shorthanded," Mourning said.  "We work the game the way we
worked it, and we come up short like that knowing that we had a
chance to win on the road.  It's pretty tough to digest."

For the fifth time in as many games, the Sixers fell behind by
double digits.  They used an 8-0 run near the end of the third
quarter to pull into a 72-72 tie.

Rodney Buford scored 11 of his 15 points in the fourth quarter
before two free throws by Williams gave the Nets a 96-90 lead
with 1:10 to go.

But Iverson and Korver each made two free throws and Jefferson
and Mourning each missed a pair after offensive rebounds,
setting up Iverson's tying shot.
