103：94，熱火贏下第五場 4：1晉級，將面對賽爾提克或暴龍的勝隊。

第四節前半兩隊一直都沒有穩定的得分手段，公鹿靠著 Lopez在禁區的優勢（團隊 13個進攻籃板，Lopez 6個），跟熱火幾個防守選擇漏掉禁區得分。熱火則是 Tyler Herro幾個漂亮的切入自己切入進算加罰跟空拋給 Adabayo ally-oop得分。

Middleton 在第四節剩三分鐘左右開始加溫，中距離三分連拿五分 89：85。隨後 Bulter連罰兩分。公鹿透過 Middleton, Bledsoe, Lopez的三人配合 Lopez拿下兩分。Bulter再罰兩分，Lopez也在另一邊兩罰一中。Dragic中距離拿下兩分，另一邊 Middleton搶投三分沒進，Butler隨後再造成犯規兩罰拿下 97：88剩 46秒。Middleton踩在三分線上出手被犯規兩罰拿下。Adebayo在暫停後接後場長傳時的推人接球沒有被吹（公鹿已經用掉挑戰了）接著 Middleton fouled out。接下來則是無懸念的犯規罰球時間。

這一場熱火反常的出現很多自己進攻上的失誤，尤其都不一定是在被壓迫的情況下，全場 21次（公鹿 11次）。但是公鹿自己整場 36.7% 三分球 28.1%的命中率，尤其 Middleton 8-25, Bledsoe 2-12，總是讓公鹿沒有辦法有持續的攻勢一舉在比賽的後段超前分數。熱火今天則是 Dragic, Butler, Crowder, Herro, Adebayo各 17, 17, 16, 14, 13分，成功地詮釋了熱火的團隊籃球。而第四節在剩三分鐘開始 Butler跟 Dragic有經驗的透過罰球拿到分數也是關鍵。

熱火今年能走多遠呢？不管是對上賽爾提克或暴龍都會又是精彩的團隊防守戰，尤其在側翼球員上的對決也會非常精彩。

而公鹿會改變嗎？會從哪裡開始改呢？教練？攻守哲學？綠葉球員？甚至 Giannis本人的意向？

----

第三節結束 73：65。熱火領先。

兩隊第三節都打得綁手綁腳的。熱火傳球路徑被預測失誤，然後另一邊公鹿單打被防守壓迫造成失誤。Middleton雖然拿下 14分，但是命中率 6-16，在 iso的情況下幾乎沒有單打成功過，然後 Bledsoe 也1-9 六分，直到第三節才投進第一球。幸好今天 Wes Matthews跟 DiVencenzo 11, 15分，分數才沒拉開。熱火則有五名球員得分超過雙位數。目前看起來第四節熱火得要減少失誤而公鹿則要找到好的投籃機會果斷出手。

----

中場結束 52：46熱火領先。

熱火第二節從一開始就靠著三分球迅速的把比分追回來，尤其是熱火的板凳，上半場 22分，公鹿板凳6分。Olynyk, Nunn, Herro各得 8, 6, 6分。而公鹿從第二節開始進攻的時候傳球比第一節少，或者是停了一拍之後才傳，造成很多的困難出手。一個明顯的點是，Middleton在側翼要球的單打始終成功率不高，熱火一對一可以跟 Middleton對位的球員太多了。如果下半場公鹿要追回來的話勢必要多利用接球的瞬間防守者還沒站好位的瞬間進攻籃筐或投籃。

----

第一節結束 28：19公鹿領先！

Middleton第一節 4-7得九分，DiVincenzo 三分球 2-2八分。只要當公鹿的球員不猶豫，一接到球就切傳投作出決定，往往就能得到好的結果。而熱火似乎對於之前都很少切入的公鹿後場球員開始 drive and kick似乎反應還是慢了半拍。而公鹿的防守顯然也比熱火積極，第一節就製造熱火六次失誤，但是其中也有幾次失誤明顯是熱火自己沒有處理好球，包括 Bam跟 Butler傳丟了好幾球。

----

公鹿熱火第五戰！

Giannis確定不會上場！Middleton能持續保持上一場的火力嗎？其他公鹿的球員誰會跳出來呢？

熱火自己在第四戰賽後的記者會，則幾乎每個人都承認：「Giannis下場的確讓他們鬆懈了。」而這可能也是熱火最不能容許發生的事情，那就是在場上的專注度跟拼勁下降。所以我們可以期待這場熱火的心理準備絕對會是不管 Giannis上不上場，他們都要拿出他們全力，不能鬆懈。少了 Giannis的公鹿幾乎就是另一隻球隊（而且組成還跟熱火蠻像的），熱火有準備好了面對這個情況的調整嗎？

The Philadelphia 76ers will take any win they can get against the Orlando Magic, even an ugly one.

Allen Iverson scored 20 points, including a free throw with 2.9 seconds left, leading the Sixers to a 99-98 victory over the Magic on Friday night.

Philadelphia had lost nine of its last 10 against the Magic, including two in a row this season.

"I was so mad at halftime with the way they played the last few minutes, but they responded,'' Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "I'm frustrated with what they did at the end of the game, but I'm pleased to get a win.''

Derrick Coleman added a season-high 22 points and Eric Snow had 17, including four free throws in the final minute for Philadelphia, which has won two straight since the All-Star break.

Tracy McGrady had 37 points, including a game-tying 3-pointer with 8.7 seconds left, and Mike Miller added a season-high 33 for Orlando.

The Magic have lost seven of nine.

"All of the losses are tough,'' McGrady said. "This is a loss that really hurts because this is a team we thought we could come in and get a win.''

After McGrady's 3 over Aaron McKie tied it at 98, Iverson was fouled by Darrell Armstrong as he drove to the basket.

Iverson hit his first free throw, but missed the second. Miller got the rebound, but threw the ball out of bounds while trying to pass it.

Iverson asked Brown whether he should purposely miss the second attempt, but tried to make it after a discussion with the coaches.

"I was trying not to settle for a jump shot,'' Iverson said. "I wanted to get a layup and I got fouled.''

Iverson's right foot was bothering him after the game, but it didn't appear too serious.

McGrady, the NBA's leading scorer, has at least 30 points in 11 of his last 13 games. McGrady, among the first four players chosen Thursday for the 2004 U.S. Olympic team, shot 11-for-26, including 4-for-6 from 3-point range.

Miller, coming off a four-point performance in Thursday night's 98-88 loss at Detroit, was 13-for-21, including 5-for-8 from beyond the arc.

"Every loss is frustrating,'' Miller said. "It's hard to put one of these behind us.''

Orlando, which trailed most of the fourth quarter, got to 92-91 on a 3-pointer by Miller with 1:28 left. After McKie scored on a driving layup, Miller's layup with 24.9 seconds left cut it to 94-93.

Snow made two free throws, giving the Sixers a 96-93 lead. But McGrady made a pair to cut Orlando's deficit to one. After Snow hit two more free throws, McGrady nailed the game-tying 3.

Iverson shot just 8-for-22, but added seven rebounds.

Orlando, already without Grant Hill (ankle injury), didn't have forward Shawn Kemp for the third straight game. Kemp missed two games after he was suspended without pay Tuesday for violating the NBA's anti-drug policy for the third time. He was reinstated Friday, but wasn't able to join the team in time to play. Kemp is expected to return for Sunday's game in Toronto.

The Sixers took their biggest lead, 49-37, following a 15-5 run in the second quarter. Snow began the spurt with a turnaround jumper, and added a 3-pointer _ his third in 20 attempts this season _ that made it 43-35. Iverson had a jumper and driving layup before Keith Van Horn capped the run with a layup.

Orlando then scored seven straight, sparked by a 3-pointer from Miller. A free throw by Jacque Vaughn got the Magic to 51-47 at halftime.

The Sixers outrebounded Orlando 49-29.

Stephon Marbury dominated early. Allen Iverson struck late.

Iverson scored 14 of his 38 points in the final nine minutes as the Philadelphia 76ers rallied for a 102-94 victory over Marbury and the New Jersey Nets.

The NBA's leading scorer, Iverson fell a bucket shy of his 16th 40-point game of the season. He took over in the fourth quarter, giving the 76ers their first lead since the opening minute with a fadeaway jumper with 8:22 remaining and made sure they never trailed again.

Iverson was just 12-of-32 from the field but made 13-of-14 free throws and added seven assists and four steals. He scored 14 of Philadelphia's final 19 points, then skipped the media to nurse bruised ribs and a fat lip, products of a somewhat chippy game.

Marbury collected 20 points and 14 assists. He scored 16 points in the first half, when the Nets controlled play. But he went scoreless over the final 7 1/2 minutes, when the Sixers trapped him to force the ball out of his hands.

Forced to become a playmaker rather than a scorer, Marbury was let down a bit by his teammates. The Nets scored just 15 points in the fourth quarter and lost for the 12th time in their last 13 road games.

Last month, Iverson and Marbury teamed up to rally the Eastern Conference from a 21-point fourth-quarter deficit to victory in the All-Star Game. In this one, Iverson hounded Marbury down the stretch. Marbury shot 8-of-24 and committed seven turnovers.

"They went big, and we tried to trap him and get it out of his hands," Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "Then we tried to keep him from getting it. Our big guys did a good job of trapping and then Allen did a terrific job of denying."

"He was getting fouled and he wasn't getting calls," Nets coach Byron Scott said. "He goes to the line two times tonight. That's ridiculous. They say he is creating all the contact, but that other little guy (Iverson) that is pretty (darn) good does the same thing and he goes to the line 14 times. Tell me the difference."

Tyrone Hill had 13 points and 14 rebounds for the Sixers, who have won three in a row and eight of 10. They are 4-2 since acquiring All-Star center Dikembe Mutombo, although he was not on the floor when the Sixers made their surge.

"Tyrone Hill just killed us on the boards," Scott said. "That was the difference."

The league-leading Sixers (45-16) dominated the boards, 41-28, and avenged a 96-89 loss at New Jersey on February 4 in which they blew a 15-point third-quarter lead.

"We have a bull's-eye," Hill said. "Every team that we play wants to play hard and wants to beat us. ... They feel if they can beat the No. 1 team twice in one year, that it shows you what kind of talent they have."

The Sixers trailed 79-75 entering the fourth quarter but began the period with a 10-4 run that Iverson capped with his go-ahead jumper. It was Philadelphia's first lead since 2-0.

Marbury answered with a layup for his final points and the teams traded a pair of points before Iverson made two free throws and a jumper that followed a dive to the floor that kept possession for the Sixers and gave them a 91-87 lead with 4:49 left.

"Allen made an unbelievable hustle play among a lot of great plays," Brown said. "Defensively, I thought he's improved a lot, but that was by far for a whole game his best defense. He played against a great player."

A free throw and dunk by Aaron Williams got the Nets within one before Iverson struck again. He came around a screen for a jumper and added two free throws for a 95-90 bulge with 2:57 to go.

Williams made two more free throws, but Mutombo powered for a three-point play after Hill kept possession with by hustling for a rebound. Iverson answered rookie Kenyon Martin's jumper with one of his own and Eric Snow's jumper sealed it at 102-94 with 35 seconds remaining.

"They were hitting some shots in the first half, but we kind of tightened it up in the second half and it was hard for them to make the shots they were making in the first half," Hill said.

Allen Iverson converted a four-point play in overtime as the Philadelphia 76ers pulled out a 95-90 victory over the host Vancouver Grizzlies on Wednesday night.

Iverson finished with 34 points -- 18 in a dominating third quarter and seven in the extra period -- as the 76ers snapped a four-game road losing streak and beat the Grizzlies for the sixth straight time.

With the game tied 86-86, Iverson, while falling backwards, hit a 3-point shot and was fouled by Vancouver's Shareef Abdur-Rahim with 2:50 left in the overtime. Iverson, who had gone scoreless in the fourth quarter, completed the four-point play and the 76ers never relinquished the lead.

Harvey Grant blocked Abdur-Rahim's 10-foot shot to preserve Philadelphia's lead at 90-88 with 34 seconds remaining.

Iverson was fouled on the ensuing play and made one of two free throws.

Trailing 93-90, the Grizzlies' last chance to tie the game failed when Vancouver guard Mike Bibby missed a 3-point shot with three seconds remaining.

Philadelphia's Theo Ratliff finished with 16 points, eight rebounds and nine blocks.
