Blount's airball was caught by Iverson and Webber powered his way down the
baseline for a layup and a 118-117 lead with 21 seconds left.
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
17.6 seconds left in the second OT.
West — the former Saint Joseph's star who received a warm ovation during
pregame introductions — heard nothing but boos when his 14-footer over Iverson
from the right side tied the score 101-all with 51 seconds left.
Blazers beat short-handed Magic 113-108
PORTLAND, Ore. - Juan Dixon scored 25 points, reserve Sebastian Telfair added
21, and the Portland Trail Blazers beat the short-handed Orlando Magic 113-108
on Friday night.
Zach Randolph scored 14 of his 19 points in the first quarter for the
Blazers, who won their second straight after a six-game losing streak.
Hedo Turkoglu had 27 points for the Magic, who were missing the suspended
Steve Francis. The Orlando Sentinel and Florida Today, both citing anonymous
sources, said the star guard wouldn't re-enter Wednesday night's loss in Seattle
after Turkoglu fouled out.
The Magic also were without Keyon Dooling, who was suspended five games by
the NBA on Friday for fighting with Seattle's Ray Allen in the same game.
Dwight Howard had 20 points and 13 rebounds for the Magic, who have lost six
of seven. Jameer Nelson added 19 points and 13 assists.
Portland led the entire fourth quarter, but Orlando stayed close behind
strong post play from Howard and Turkoglu. The Magic scored 52 points in the
paint, while the Blazers had 34.
The Magic cut the lead to two on Howard's follow shot with 1:50 left, but
Dixon countered with a fadeaway 17-footer for Portland and then a 3-pointer from
the corner to put away the game.
Dixon shot 10-of-13 from the field. Steve Blake had 17 points and six assists
for the Blazers.
The Blazers made a season-high 10 3-pointers and shot 54 percent from the
field. Led by Telfair, they got 46 points from their reserves.
The Magic had all five starters in double figures, but were without forward
Grant Hill, who has missed five of the last six games with a strained groin.
Francis, who is second on the team with 16.6 points per game, was replaced in
the lineup by DeShawn Stevenson, who had 13 points but was just 4-of-11 from the
field. Rookie Travis Diener added 11 points.
The Blazers made 6-of-6 3-pointers in the first half and led 52-45 after
Telfair hit back-to-back 3s, but Orlando went on a 10-3 run to tie the game at
55.
