Latrell Sprewell arrived early, entered the game
late and disappeared down the stretch along with the rest of his
team.

Sprewell played his first game of the season, but couldn't
reverse the New York Knicks' slide as the Philadelphia 76ers scored
17 of the final 25 points for a 93-92 victory Saturday.

''C-plus,'' Sprewell said when asked to assess his performance.
''I could have been a lot better.''

The 76ers won on the road for the first time this season, while
the defeat was the fourth in a row for the Knicks. Allen Iverson and
Todd MacCulloch each scored 17 points, Keith Van Horn had 15 points
and 12 rebounds and Eric Snow added 14 points for the 76ers.

The habitually tardy Sprewell arrived at the arena six minutes
before his team's 11:30 a.m. deadline, then made his first
appearance nine minutes into the game -- the first time he came off
the bench since the 1999 playoffs.

Sprewell played 31 minutes and had 16 points on 6-for-15
shooting but was held scoreless for the final 10 minutes.

Howard Eisley had 16 points and 10 assists for the Knicks, whose
1-8 record is the worst in the Eastern Conference.

''We have a whole lot of basketball left,'' Sprewell said. ''If
we give up now, it could get a whole lot worse.''

Sprewell, who missed the first seven weeks of the preseason and
regular season while recovering from a broken hand, scored seven of
his points in a 16-4 run bridging the third and fourth quarters as
New York turned a 63-58 deficit into a 74-67 lead. The rally
injected some life into a crowd that had been waiting nearly all
season for something to cheer.

Sprewell was poised to restore the Knicks' seven-point lead
after he poked the ball away from Snow and went in alone for a
breakaway dunk. But a moment before he jammed the ball with two
hands, Kurt Thomas body checked trailing defender Brian Skinner and
was called for a foul, erasing the basket.

''I'm still mad at Kurt,'' Sprewell said with a laugh.
''Actually, he said he thought (Skinner) was going to foul me.''

Thomas picked up a technical foul for arguing during a timeout
less than a minute later, and Iverson hit the foul shot to cut the
deficit to four. Eisley answered with a 3-pointer and Othella
Harrington hit two foul shots for a 79-70 lead.

It was 84-76 with 6:05 left before the 76ers rallied, holding
New York without a field goal for four minutes and using an 11-2
run to take an 87-85 lead.

Iverson tied it at 89 on two foul shots with 1:52 left. Michael
Doleac missed a jumper and Van Horn scored on a putback, making it
91-89, and Allan Houston missed a jumper from the corner with 30
seconds left.

Game notes
Keith Bishop, a 31-year-old school bus driver from Hudson
Falls, N.Y., hit a shot from halfcourt to win $1 million. He
received a handshake from Iverson and a roar from the crowd that
was many times louder than the cheers that greeted Sprewell when he
checked in for the first time. ... To make room for Sprewell on the
active roster, forward Mark Pope was placed in the injured list. ...
Knicks coach Don Chaney indicated that Charlie Ward (bruised lower
leg) will not return until Friday night at the earliest. ''He's not
close to being ready yet,'' Chaney said. ... Houston missed a free
throw late in the fourth quarter, his first miss after 33
consecutive makes. ... The last time the Knicks were 1-8 was
1985-86.

The Philadelphia 76ers enjoyed a great March, and it got them in the playoffs.

Allen Iverson scored 14 of his 42 points in the fourth quarter and overtime as the 76ers clinched their fifth straight playoff berth by beating the Orlando Magic 118-113 Monday night.

"It's such a huge win for us,'' Philadelphia coach Larry Brown said. "It caps off a big month for us where we had 12 road games and four home games and ended up going 11-5, which is pretty special.''

Added Iverson: "It's good to know we're in (the playoffs) because the East is so crazy. You lose a couple of games here or there, and you go from in to out.''

The 76ers won for the fourth time in five games, and for the fourth straight time on the road, to move a game ahead of idle Indiana for third place in the East. Philadelphia also kept pace 1{ games behind New Jersey for the Atlantic Division lead. The Nets beat Houston 110-86 Monday.

Kenny Thomas had 24 points and 20 rebounds for his fifth double-double in the last six games, while Derrick Coleman added 18 points and 13 rebounds. Philadelphia had a 61-38 advantage on the boards, including a 24-12 margin in the final quarter and overtime.

"The Magic spread out and have a lot of people on the perimeter, so if they miss you should have a good chance to get the rebound,'' Brown said.

That's exactly what happened, as Orlando shot 29 percent (8-for-28) on 3-pointers.

"You look at the numbers and they're staggering,'' Orlando coach Doc Rivers said. "We held a team to 43 percent shooting with 26 offensive rebounds, so what it tells you is that you played great defense initially but you kept giving them the ball back and they kept scoring.''

For Orlando, Tracy McGrady had 39 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists, and Steven Hunter came off the bench for a season-high 15 points, plus seven rebounds and five blocks -- both career bests.

Gordan Giricek scored 12 of his 15 points in the first half for Orlando, while reserves Darrell Armstrong and Pat Garrity both added 13 points. The Magic bench had a 44-8 edge over Philadelphia's.

Orlando's primary centers, Shawn Kemp and Andrew DeClercq, combined for two points and one rebound in 19 minutes.

"I love our big men to death, but we've got to do something,'' McGrady said. "We can't allow a team to outrebound us by 23.''

Eric Snow had a putback dunk to open overtime, but McGrady countered with a free throw and turnaround jumper to give Orlando a 113-112 lead with 3:22 to go.

Iverson then hit two jumpers and Snow had two free throws as Philadelphia scored the last six points of the game. Orlando shot 1-for-6 in overtime, and 10-for-30 after the third quarter.

"I told our guys in the locker room that we just played playoff basketball -- and we didn't pass the first test,'' Rivers said.

The Magic have lost all four of their overtime games this season.

Philadelphia trailed 107-97 with 3:31 remaining following McGrady's three-point play -- Orlando's fifth of the final period.

But Coleman hit a jumper and 3-pointer on consecutive possessions, kicking off a game-tying 13-3 run. Snow's jumper with 32.9 seconds to go tied the game at 110. Snow had 16 points despite shooting 3-for-11.

Both teams missed opportunities to win in the closing seconds of regulation. On the final three possessions, McGrady missed a short runner, Thomas had Iverson's pass squirt through his hands and Jeryl Sasser missed a floater as time expired.

Sasser, a 32-percent shooter, wasn't supposed to have the ball but Philadelphia's defense did an excellent job of denial on McGrady. And with 1:12 left to play, the 76ers forced Orlando into a backcourt violation on another inbounds play.

"It's a dilemma and something we have to solve,'' Rivers said.

Game notes

Philadelphia center Samuel Dalembert has had consecutive practices with contact but there's no indication when he'll return, coach Larry Brown said. Dalembert has missed the entire season following left knee surgery in October. ... The last season the 76ers did not make the playoffs was 1997-98, Brown's first year in Philadelphia and Iverson's second. ... The 76ers lead the NBA in steals, with 10.18 per game. Against Orlando, they had nine. ... The game was a sellout, Orlando's fifth of the season.

It seemed like a highly unlikely game for Allen Iverson to sink his first career game-winning buzzer-beater.

Iverson shook off an awful performance to make a 14-footer at the overtime horn and give the Philadelphia 76ers a thrilling 106-104 victory over the depleted Indiana Pacers.

"It's just a great feeling to hit a shot with no more time left on the clock and they can't do nothing about it," Iverson said. "It's something that never happened for me. I've had the winning free throws, but it's not the same thing as hitting the game-winning shot. I might have hit shots that put us ahead, but just that one right there is a feeling that I can't even express."

Second in the NBA in scoring at 28.2 points per game, Iverson had one of the worst outings of his career, making 5-of-23 shots and committing seven turnovers. Iverson could not find the range, was sloppy while running the offense and was on the bench when Philadelphia climbed back into the game in the second half.

But the Sixers forced overtime on the seventh 3-pointer by Kyle Korver, a 28-footer with 3.7 seconds in regulation. Korver scored a career-high 23 points.

"That wasn't the play we drew up in the huddle," Korver said. "Our initial play was to pass into Marc Jackson, run a couple of player screens. That obviously didn't happen, so we pitched it back and forth. I knew we needed a three so I went back as far as I needed to go to get it off. I shot it and it went in."

"That play was a mistake by our coaching staff," Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said. "We gave our guys a coverage that wasn't the right coverage and it cost us. If we hadn't, Korver wouldn't have gotten that wide open look."

In the extra session, Iverson finally found a rhythm with a runner that tied it at 104-104 with 1:19 to play. On Philadelphia's next possession, Iverson missed a jumper to fall to 4-of-22. But Indiana's James Jones also missed a jumper, setting the stage for Iverson's heroics.

From right of the top of the circle, Iverson dribbled down Eddie Gill into the lane, stopped short and leaned into a jumper that rattled in as the buzzer sounded, giving the 76ers their second straight win in overtime.

"I didn't have any doubt that I was going to take the last shot if I was played man-to-man," Iverson said. "I honestly feel like my teammate expected me to, but they had their hands ready if guys came off of them."

Iverson entered the NBA in 1996 and has collected five All-Star berths, three scoring titles and an MVP award. But he had never made a pure game-winning shot, although he had one to beat Germany in an exhibition game last summer.

"Allen had a tough shooting night," Sixers coach Jim O'Brien said. "He had some good looks at the basket. His shots didn't fall until that last one, but who cares about the other 18."

"I've found out in my career that if I do keep playing regardless of struggling, something positive will happen," Iverson said.

Marc Jackson had 21 points and 10 rebounds for the Sixers, who erased an eight-point deficit in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter. On Wednesday, they rallied from six points down with 70 seconds left to defeat New Jersey in overtime.

In this one, the Sixers outlasted the Pacers, who used their size advantage and 3-point shooting to build a 17-point lead in the third quarter but simply ran out of bodies. Dressing just eight players, Indiana lost Jermaine O'Neal (career-high 39 points), Jamaal Tinsley (10 assists) and reserve center David Harrison to fouls in overtime.

"The difference in the game was the ref calling a foul on me when I got elbowed in the face," O'Neal said. "Also the foul on Jamaal when Iverson jumps into him. It upsets me that the game can be taken away from us."

Ron Artest scored 29 points in his return from a two-game benching and Stephen Jackson added 17 points for the Pacers, who have lost two in a row after opening the season with four wins. Indiana made 11 3-pointers but none in the final 12 minutes.

The Sixers could not have won without the hot-shooting Korver, who scored 11 points in the fourth quarter. His jumper made it 98-92 with 1:49 left, and Iverson added two free throws with 58 seconds to go.

Josh Davis made a free throw and Marc Jackson sank two, making it 98-97 with 16 seconds to go. The Sixers fouled Austin Croshere, who made both foul shots, setting the stage for Korver.

For the sixth time in as many games, the Sixers fell behind by double digits. The deficit grew to 76-59 late in the third period when Iverson missed a shot, threw away a pass and committed an offensive foul on consecutive possessions before taking a seat.

"We're not playing every quarter. We could easily be 0-and-6," he said. "Hopefully the light switch turns on and we start to get it."
