ORLANDO, Fla. — Hedo Turkoglu scored 22 points, Dwight Howard added 21 and the short-handed Orlando Magic rallied to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 115-111 on Saturday night.
The Magic, missing Grant Hill due to his bruised right wrist, trailed by six with 2:02 left to play after Allen Iverson's jumper.
Iverson finished with 38 points, his most since sitting out a game two weeks ago with an ankle sprain. Samuel Dalembert tied his career high with 24 points, and added a season-best 16 rebounds.
Jameer Nelson sparked the comeback with two steals, cashed in for three free throws, cutting the deficit to a point. Nelson had seven steals, one short of the franchise record, to go with his 12 points.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Kirk Hinrich had 24 points and nine assists for Chicago's second victory at the Palace in less than a month.
The Bulls hadn't won twice in Detroit in one season since 1995-96. Eddy Curry added 15 for the Bulls before fouling out and Antonio Davis had 14.
Richard Hamilton led all scorers with 32, including 16 in the first quarter, but only scored seven in the second half. Hamilton was a game-time decision with a bruised right thigh.

After Jermaine O'Neal gave Indiana a 93-91 lead with 39.7 seconds left, Gilbert Arenas hit a jumper and the Wizards forced a shot clock violation to get the ball back with 4.5 seconds to play.
Jamison, who finished with 19 points and 13 rebounds, took the ball at the top of the key, drove past two Indiana defenders and lofted a soft hook shot over O'Neal to give the Wizards their second straight win and offset a huge night from O'Neal.
O'Neal scored 12 of his 38 points in the fourth quarter.
