 PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Allen Iverson outplayed Kobe Bryant in an anticipated matchup of the league's leading scorers, scoring 34 points and sinking the winner with 22.2 seconds left to lead the 76ers to an 85-81 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night.
Iverson — having an awful quarter after he missed an easy layup, two free throws and was whistled for traveling in the fourth quarter — stepped just inside the 3-point arc and buried a jumper in the final seconds for an 83-81 lead.
Bryant missed a jumper over Andre Iguodala with about 5 seconds left, and Iverson made two free throws to seal Philadelphia's third straight win.
