Alonzo Mourning had his best game. Allen Iverson had another 40-point game. But Tim Hardaway had the shot of the game.
Hardaway's leaning 22-footer over Eric Snow with 5.6 seconds to play gave the Miami Heat an 83-81 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, who wasted 41 points from Iverson.
In a game featuring playoff-like intensity, the 76ers pulled into the sixth and final tie of the fourth quarter when Dikembe Mutombo rebounded a miss by Snow and threw in a hook shot as he was fouled with 17 seconds to go. But Mutombo missed the free throw, leaving the score 81-81.
Hardaway, who had his dribble poked away from him by Snow in the final seconds of a loss on November 4, dribbled to the left of the arc and stepped on the circle as he leaned forward. Snow had a hand in his face, but Hardaway made the shot.
"The shot was a little quick but we probably wouldn't have gotten a better shot than that," Hardaway said.
"He made a good shot," Snow said. "He's made so many in his time. He kind of pushed off and made a great shot with a hand in his face."
The Sixers could not inbound to Iverson, who made 14-of-28 shots in his 17th 40-point game of the season. Instead, Snow passed to Aaron McKie, who passed to Jumaine Jones and took a return handoff before coming up short on a 3-pointer from the left sideline.
"The way Iverson was playing I would have liked to get him the ball," Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "They did a good job of keeping the ball out of his hands but we got a pretty good look."
Mourning played his best game since his return from a kidney
ailment two weeks ago. Perhaps motivated by playing against
fellow Georgetown alumnus Mutombo, Mourning had season highs of
20 points and 16 rebounds in 26 minutes and was on the floor
down the stretch.
"I don't care how many minutes I play as long as we get the
`W,'" Mourning said. "I know we have a huge window of
opportunity to get to that championship level. If we just stay
the course, the sky is the limit."
"Adrenaline had a lot to do with it," said Iverson, another
Georgetown alumnus. "He hadn't been playing as well as he did
tonight but Alonzo is a special basketball player. He's an
All-Star in every sense of the word."
It was a big win for the Heat (47-30), who blew an 11-point lead
and had to rally in the fourth quarter. They moved one game in
front of New York in the race for the third seed in the Eastern
Conference -- and the chance to avoid Philadelphia, the East's
top team, until the conference finals.
"Tonight had a playoff feel to it," Riley said.
"It wasn't a playoff game. I know that feeling already,"
Iverson said. "To me, this wasn't a playoff atmosphere. The way
they were jumping around at the end of the game showed me that
they really wanted this game."

It seemed like a highly unlikely game for Allen Iverson to sink his first career game-winning buzzer-beater.
Iverson shook off an awful performance to make a 14-footer at the overtime horn and give the Philadelphia 76ers a thrilling 106-104 victory over the depleted Indiana Pacers.
"It's just a great feeling to hit a shot with no more time left on the clock and they can't do nothing about it," Iverson said. "It's something that never happened for me. I've had the winning free throws, but it's not the same thing as hitting the game-winning shot. I might have hit shots that put us ahead, but just that one right there is a feeling that I can't even express."
Second in the NBA in scoring at 28.2 points per game, Iverson had one of the worst outings of his career, making 5-of-23 shots and committing seven turnovers. Iverson could not find the range, was sloppy while running the offense and was on the bench when Philadelphia climbed back into the game in the second half.
But the Sixers forced overtime on the seventh 3-pointer by Kyle Korver, a 28-footer with 3.7 seconds in regulation. Korver scored a career-high 23 points.
"That wasn't the play we drew up in the huddle," Korver said. "Our initial play was to pass into Marc Jackson, run a couple of player screens. That obviously didn't happen, so we pitched it back and forth. I knew we needed a three so I went back as far as I needed to go to get it off. I shot it and it went in."
"That play was a mistake by our coaching staff," Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said. "We gave our guys a coverage that wasn't the right coverage and it cost us. If we hadn't, Korver wouldn't have gotten that wide open look."
In the extra session, Iverson finally found a rhythm with a runner that tied it at 104-104 with 1:19 to play. On Philadelphia's next possession, Iverson missed a jumper to fall to 4-of-22. But Indiana's James Jones also missed a jumper, setting the stage for Iverson's heroics.
From right of the top of the circle, Iverson dribbled down Eddie Gill into the lane, stopped short and leaned into a jumper that rattled in as the buzzer sounded, giving the 76ers their second straight win in overtime.
"I didn't have any doubt that I was going to take the last shot if I was played man-to-man," Iverson said. "I honestly feel like my teammate expected me to, but they had their hands ready if guys came off of them."
Iverson entered the NBA in 1996 and has collected five All-Star berths, three scoring titles and an MVP award. But he had never made a pure game-winning shot, although he had one to beat Germany in an exhibition game last summer.
"Allen had a tough shooting night," Sixers coach Jim O'Brien said. "He had some good looks at the basket. His shots didn't fall until that last one, but who cares about the other 18."
"I've found out in my career that if I do keep playing regardless of struggling, something positive will happen," Iverson said.
Marc Jackson had 21 points and 10 rebounds for the Sixers, who erased an eight-point deficit in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter. On Wednesday, they rallied from six points down with 70 seconds left to defeat New Jersey in overtime.
In this one, the Sixers outlasted the Pacers, who used their size advantage and 3-point shooting to build a 17-point lead in the third quarter but simply ran out of bodies. Dressing just eight players, Indiana lost Jermaine O'Neal (career-high 39 points), Jamaal Tinsley (10 assists) and reserve center David Harrison to fouls in overtime.
"The difference in the game was the ref calling a foul on me when I got elbowed in the face," O'Neal said. "Also the foul on Jamaal when Iverson jumps into him. It upsets me that the game can be taken away from us."
Ron Artest scored 29 points in his return from a two-game benching and Stephen Jackson added 17 points for the Pacers, who have lost two in a row after opening the season with four wins. Indiana made 11 3-pointers but none in the final 12 minutes.
The Sixers could not have won without the hot-shooting Korver, who scored 11 points in the fourth quarter. His jumper made it 98-92 with 1:49 left, and Iverson added two free throws with 58 seconds to go.
Josh Davis made a free throw and Marc Jackson sank two, making it 98-97 with 16 seconds to go. The Sixers fouled Austin Croshere, who made both foul shots, setting the stage for Korver.
For the sixth time in as many games, the Sixers fell behind by double digits. The deficit grew to 76-59 late in the third period when Iverson missed a shot, threw away a pass and committed an offensive foul on consecutive possessions before taking a seat.
"We're not playing every quarter. We could easily be 0-and-6," he said. "Hopefully the light switch turns on and we start to get it."

Exhibition Introduction:
Since the launch of ‘Art Street’, Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei has explored diverse possibilities for art and for all by introducing contemporary art to living space. In the spring of 2015, MOCA Taipei partners with Elite Taipei Station Store to co-present the fourth exhibition and invites Taiwan Indie bands and emerging fashion designers to co-create a duo-feast consisting of music and visual sense. Through this cross-disciplinary experimental collaboration, we discuss the visual approaches of music performance on stage.
Since 2009 on, the White Eyes has worked with fashion designer Hikky Chen to develop a series of stage costumes and profiles, which they wear to attend many music events both overseas and domestically. This exhibition entitled Inorganic Evolution-The White Eyes X Hikky Chen could be regarded as a celebration of its founding for a decade. In addition to examine the creational history in the past ten years, the design profiles are also presented. Having an exhibition at the K1 and K2 square of Elite Taipei Station Store where the mass crowd and traffic gather, we expect to initiate a fusion of diverse creative culture and art as well as to further interpret the indie Avant-garde fashion of the White Eyes.
Extending the Punk and Riot Girls style in the early years, the White Eyes set up strong image in the circle of Taiwan Indie bands and they won grand prize at Ho-hai-yan Rock Festival; in recent years, the vocalist and bass player Chung-yu Fan form “Half of White Eyes” side project. While persuading further experimental spirit in the music presentation, the band also engages in several cross-disciplinary projects. The collaboration between the White Eyes and Hikky Chen implies the beginning of another stage, which the long-lasting Punk spirit, rebelling, critical against the conventional concepts, respect to individuals with different values, and the pursuing of liberation are all shown in their creation.
The stage costumes by Hikky Chen are mostly inspired by the elements in the Nature, including the mineral colors and textures, and the primitive quality of grey cloth. Therefore, most of costumes are made by retailing and assembling recycled clothing and unwanted fabrics. The colors are made from the technique of tea dying and show a warm, tender and natural hue. The texture and color hues are full of primitive charm, which is exactly like the liberation manifesto by the band. Moreover, daily life and pets of band vocalist Hsiao-gao Gao are resources of inspiration as well.
The White Eyes organized their ten-year anniversary concert at the end of 2014. It is an important evolution for the White Eyes to present the audio sense through costumes and visual profiles. This is the intention behind the collaboration between the band and fashion designer. Based on this reason, the exhibition is organized to present the achievement of a decade. On stage, the White Eyes not only performs physically, but also expresses their music faith via unique costumes. With the concepts of inorganic evolution, this exhibition looks forward to further inspiring more diverse imaginations and possibilities of cross- disciplinary creation among creators from different fields.
