PHILADELPHIA – Chris Webber grabbed the most thrilling of wins away from Boston.

Webber had 31 points and 13 rebounds, and Allen Iverson scored 33 points to give the Philadelphia 76ers a thrilling 125-124 triple-overtime victory over the Celtics on Friday night.

Ricky Davis scored 33 points and Mark Blount had 27 for the Celtics.

Samuel Dalembert had 20 points and 11 rebounds and Kyle Korver added 12 points – including his biggest 3-pointer of the season – as the Sixers avoided dropping two games under .500 for the first time since Dec. 9.

With the Sixers ahead 125-124 and only seconds left in the third overtime, Blount grabbed a defensive rebound and looked down the court for an open man, only to have Webber reach around and strip the ball.

Iverson missed two free throws, but it hardly mattered in the longest game for the Sixers since a triple OT game against Miami in 1992.

Korver prolonged the drama in the 395th game between the longtime, fierce rivals when he buried a game-tying 3-pointer over a flailing Delonte West to end the second overtime tied at 121-all.

Iverson calmly pumped his fist, his face expressionless as if he expected it. Brian Scalabrine mouthed “What are you going to do?” as the rest of the Celtics headed for the bench stunned.

Boston scored the first three points of the third overtime on a free throw and then a basket from Blount.

Over? No way.

No one had a chance to catch their breath in this one.

Andre Iguodala added a driving layup and Webber gave the Sixers a 125-124 lead on two free throws.

Webber powered his way down the baseline for a layup and a 118-117 lead with 21 seconds left in the second overtime. Paul Pierce lobbed a pass from the top of the 3-point arc to a streaking, wide-open Blount for an uncontested dunk that gave Boston a 119-118 lead with 17 seconds left in the second OT.

The Celtics appeared to have this game won until Korver did what he does best – hit a clutch 3-pointer.

Grizzlies 81, Nets 69

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Mike Miller had 18 points and 16 rebounds, and the Memphis Grizzlies used good guard play to overcome a subpar performance from leading scorer Pau Gasol and beat the New Jersey Nets 81-69 Friday night.

Bobby Jackson scored 17 points for Memphis. Eddie Jones added 12 and Shane Battier finished with 11 as the Grizzlies won for the ninth time in 11 games overall and their sixth straight at home.

Memphis built its advantage with 21 unanswered points spanning the second and third quarters. That built the Grizzlies’ lead to 24 early in the third.

Knicks 105, Hawks 94

NEW YORK – Larry Brown became the fourth coach in league history to win 1,000 games as the New York Knicks beat the Atlanta Hawks 105-94 on Friday night for their sixth straight victory.

Brown, who is 1,000-762 in 23 seasons as an NBA coach, joined Lenny Wilkens, Don Nelson and Pat Riley as the only coaches to reach 1,000 victories. All four coached the Knicks at some point in their careers.

Brown achieved his milestone win in front of his brother Herb, who is an assistant coach for the Hawks. The two exchanged a long hug after the game.

Hornets 90, Kings 76

NORMAN, Okla. – David West scored 19 points and Rasual Butler added a season-high 16 to help the New Orleans Hornets beat the Sacramento Kings 90-76 Friday night and avoid a fourth-quarter collapse in another home away from home.

Butler hit two 3-pointers during a 16-4 run that extended the Hornets’ lead to 79-57 early in the fourth quarter. Sacramento pulled within 83-70 on Jason Hart’s 3-pointer, but Jackson Vroman scored four straight points and J.R. Smith added a 3-pointer to restore the 20-point lead. The game – relocated from Baton Rouge, La. – was played at the University of Oklahoma’s Lloyd Noble Center because of a conflict with a Bon Jovi concert rehearsal at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City.

Wolves 103, Nuggets 89

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Kevin Garnett had a season-high 31 points on 14-for-17 shooting and 15 rebounds Friday night to help the Minnesota Timberwolves even their record with a 103-89 win over the Denver Nuggets.

Wally Szczerbiak, who made eight of his final 10 field goals, added 28 points and spurred the Timberwolves on a decisive 20-4 run that closed the third quarter. Rookie Rashad McCants chipped in 11 points on 5-for-6 shooting and six rebounds.

Carmelo Anthony, held in check for most of the night by Trenton Hassell, scored eight points in the fourth period to finish with 21 for the Nuggets. Kenyon Martin returned after a one-game bout with back spasms to score 14 points, and Andre Miller also had 14.

Wizards 94, Pacers 85

INDIANAPOLIS – Gilbert Arenas scored 18 of his 37 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Washington Wizards over the Indiana Pacers 94-85 on Friday night.

Caron Butler added 24 points and eight rebounds for Washington, which has won two straight games.

Jermaine O’Neal led the Pacers with 20 points and seven rebounds. Jeff Foster added 10 points and 11 rebounds.

The score was tied at 80 before baskets by Arenas and Antonio Daniels and two free throws by Arenas gave the Wizards an 86-80 lead.

Arenas hit a jumper with 1:20 left and the shot clock winding down to make the score 88-80.

and put the game out of reach.
