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.

Game 4 round 1 Pistons vs Sixers 2008 Playoffs
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.
