Iverson, Webber lead Sixers’ victory

Allen Iverson scored 38 points, Chris Webber added 27 and the streaking Philadelphia 76ers won for the sixth time in seven games, 111-100 over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night at Philadelphia.

With the Sixers seemingly headed toward another typical tight, frantic fourth, they instead pulled away from the Warriors with an 11-2 run to open the quarter and kept their double-digit lead for most of the rest of the game.

The Sixers open a seven-game road trip Friday night at Atlanta.

They won’t return home until Jan. 9 against Seattle.

Jason Richardson scored 24 points, Mike Dunleavy had 22 and Baron Davis 16 for the slumping Warriors, who lost their third straight game on the road.

Samuel Dalembert scored 15 points and grabbed nine rebounds and Kyle Korver added 14 points for the Atlantic Division-leading 76ers.

Korver hit a 3 that stretched the Sixers lead to 11 early in the fourth and Iverson followed with a jumper that gave them a cushion that they’ve shown a knack for blowing this year.

Not this time, not after the Sixers kept control at the free-throw line and Dalembert ended the game with two emphatic dunks that brought to life a rather sparse and lifeless crowd.

Richardson and Davis answered the Sixers’ spurt with consecutive 3s, but the Warriors faded down the stretch, scoring only nine points in the final 7 minutes.

This rough road trip has deflated what was the Warriors’ best start in more than a decade that saw them briefly reach first place in the Pacific Division for the first time since 1992.

Webber scored 11 points in the third quarter, nearly negating the Warriors 77 percent shooting mark from the floor.
