All the Philadelphia 76ers had to do was win, and
home-court advantage was theirs for at least the first round of the
playoffs.

Instead, the 76ers had one of their worst first quarters of the
season and never quite recovered. Now home-court advantage rides on
the very last game of the season.

"I never thought it would come to the last game to decide our
playoff spot," Allen Iverson said after the 76ers lost to the
Chicago Bulls 115-106 Tuesday night.

The 76ers' third straight loss dropped them into a tie with
Indiana for third place in the Eastern Conference, and it also
clinched the Atlantic Division title for the New Jersey Nets. Both
teams wrap up their regular seasons Wednesday night.

A loss could drop Philadelphia to as low as fifth in the East.

"When you lose a ballgame, especially to a team not going to
the playoffs, and we're trying to get home-court advantage, that
opens the window to say a lot of negative things about your own
team," Iverson said.

Actually, nothing more really needed to be said. The box score
summed it up: The 76ers fell behind 35-18 in the first quarter,
when they shot 24 percent from the floor.

"That's about as bad a first quarter as we played," coach
Larry Brown said. ``We had no energy, and took awful shots."

Though Iverson matched his season high with 42 points,
Philadelphia shot 38 percent. Eric Snow was the only other starter
in double figures, with 17. The final score might have been even
worse if the 76ers hadn't gone 40-of-44 from the line, including
17-of-18 by Iverson.

They couldn't find an answer for Eddy Curry, either. Curry made
his first eight shots on his way to a career-high 31 points. He
might have scored 40 if he hadn't been in foul trouble.

The Bulls finished the season 30-52; Curry ended up shooting
.580 from the field, the highest percentage for the Bulls since
1982-83, when Orlando Woolridge put up the same figure.

Jamal Crawford matched his career best with 33, and the Bulls
shot 63 percent, including 10-of-15 from 3-point range. The team's
30 victories are nine more than last season, and just six fewer
than it managed in the two previous seasons combined.

"As a team, we just wanted to end on a good note and get our
goal of 30 wins," said Crawford, who also had eight assists.
"It's exciting for us."

The Bulls have Curry and Crawford to thank for this one. The two
opened the game with their own 13-4 run, and the 76ers were
overwhelmed. Curry had a monster first quarter, going 8-for-8 and
matching the entire Philadelphia squad with 18 points. He didn't
miss a shot until there was 6:30 left in the first half, and he
finished the half with 24 points on 11-of-12 shooting.

"When you are out of the playoffs, it is easy to come in and
not give your best effort," Bulls coach Bill Cartwright said. "I
thought our guys have been terrific and showed a lot of character.
They showed great spirit."

Philadelphia trailed by as much as 17 early in the third, but
Iverson scored six straight points to pull them to 94-90 with 7:24
left in the game.

No matter how many shots he took, Allen Iverson couldn't beat the Atlanta Hawks by himself.

Iverson scored 53 points, the fifth-highest total of his career, but Joe Johnson had 24 to lead the Hawks over the Philadelphia 76ers 111-108 on Friday night.

"I'm as disappointed as everybody else on my team," Iverson said. "We wanted to go into the holidays with a win. We'll have to get this one out of our system and come back to work."

Zaza Pachulia added a career-high 23 points, including the go-ahead free throws, and Al Harrington scored 22 for Atlanta, which won its fourth straight at home and its fifth in the last seven games overall.

"We shared the ball," Pachulia said. "We had 29 assists, and that's great. We shot pretty good also, 54 percent. It's tough to beat a team like that."

Iverson, who entered with a league-best 33.5 scoring average, had 21 points and six rebounds in the first half. He shot 17-of-31 and hit 19 of 21 free throws, the last coming on a three-point play that cut the Atlanta lead to 101-100 with 5:20 remaining.

He broke the record that Shareef Abdur-Rahim set at 7-year-old Philips Arena with a 50-point performance against Detroit on Nov. 23, 2001. Iverson has scored 50 in nine games, including a career-best 60-point effort in a 112-99 win over Orlando last Feb. 12.

Iverson gave the Sixers their last lead when his runner over Johnson and Pachulia made it 105-104 with just under 3 minutes remaining. Pachulia then made two free throws, then added a jumper for a three-point lead.

On Philadelphia's last five possessions, John Salmons missed two straightaway 3-point attempts and had a fast-break layup blocked by Atlanta's Josh Smith.

"When someone is scoring like that, everybody else isn't involved," Harrington said. "When they do shoot, they're ice cold, so that worked in our favor."

Iverson drove past Salim Stoudamire and Harrington after a steal for the Sixers' last basket, a layup that cut Atlanta's lead to 110-108 with 36 seconds remaining. Philadelphia had the ball with 2.4 seconds left when Iverson made an inbounds pass in front of the Atlanta bench to Chris Webber, who missed an 8-foot turnaround jumper.

"I told him before the play that if both men went to me, to go to the basket and get a good shot," Iverson said. "Things didn't go the way we wanted tonight."

Johnson made one free throw, then jumped to intercept Andre Iguodala's long pass from the Hawks' baseline.

Two free throws by Iverson gave the Sixers their biggest lead at 82-70 in the third quarter, but the Hawks went on a 26-9 run to go up 96-91 on Stoudamire's fast-break layup.

"We showed a lot of character coming back from 12 down," Atlanta coach Mike Woodson said. "I thought Iverson was tremendous tonight. He created so many problems for us, but I like that we found a way to overcome that and get the win. We had a number of guys step up in the fourth quarter."

Sixers coach Maurice Cheeks could tell a big difference when center Samuel Dalembert picked up his fifth foul with 9:02 remaining.

"Our defense is a lot better with Sam in the game, because he can block shots and rebound the ball," Cheeks said. "They're a jump-shooting team, with the exception of Harrington. We just have to get better in all areas defensively."

Iverson, who leads the NBA in minutes, played the entire second half

Kyrie Irving set an NBA season high and a career high by scoring 57 points in the Cavaliers' 128-125 overtime victory over the Spurs in San Antonio on Thursday.

This was a case of Cleveland's three-time All-Star saving his best for last. Irving scored nine points in the final minute of regulation, including a buzzer-beating three-pointer to force overtime, and added 11 more in the extra period.

All told, he scored 15 consecutive points as the Cavaliers erased a 108-101 deficit in the final minute of the fourth quarter. The shocking rally was aided by two missed free throws by Kawhi Leonard with just seconds to go in regulation.

"I just couldn't have done it without my teammates," Irving told reporters. "Shots were going in. I was getting open, and during the end of the game we never gave up. ... A few of those shots, I just threw them up at the rim, and I was lucky enough and blessed enough that they went in."

Here are a few notes about Irving's record-setting night.

Irving's 57 points surpassed his previous career high of 55 points, set in a Jan. 28 victory over the Blazers, which stood as the NBA's previous highest-scoring output during the 2014-15 season.
Irving's 57 points set a Cavaliers franchise record, surpassing LeBron James, who scored 56 points against the Raptors on March 20, 2005.
Irving becomes the first player this season to score 50+ points on multiple occasions. Warriors guards Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, and Timberwolves guard Mo Williams are the only other players to top 50 points in a game this season.
Irving becomes the first player since Lakers guard Kobe Bryant to score 55+ points multiple times in the same season. Bryant accomplished the feat three times during the 2006-07 season.
Irving joins Bryant (2005-06 and 2006-07) and Michael Jordan (1992-93) as the only players to score 55+ points multiple times in the same season since the 1990-91 season.
Irving joins Thunder forward Kevin Durant as the only players to score 50+ points multiple times in the same season since 2009-10. Durant accomplished the feat twice last year.
"I thought he was pretty decent," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "Kyrie Irving was unstoppable. I don’t know how to guard that. He did a hell of a job. We all know how talented he is, but he really went to a new level tonight. He had a hell of a night and that talent just got us."

James added 31 points, seven assists and five rebounds for the Cavaliers.

Tony Parker led the Spurs with 31 points, six assists and five rebounds. Danny Green and Leonard each added 24 points.

Cleveland improved to 42-25. San Antonio dropped to 40-24.
