ATLANTA (AP) -- Allen Iverson had 38 points, nine assists and eight steals as the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Atlanta Hawks 110-89 Saturday night.
Iverson finished 17-for-25 from the floor, missing his only 3-point attempt. He hit eight straight midrange jump shots before missing an 18-footer from the left baseline late in the second quarter.
Philadelphia took a 38-26 lead midway through the second quarter on Iverson's 22-footer, and the Sixers maintained a double-digit lead the rest of the way.
Glenn Robinson, who missed an overtime loss Wednesday at Detroit with an inflamed left Achilles heel, led Atlanta with 16 points on 5-for-18 shooting. Robinson committed seven of the Hawks' 17 turnovers.
Philadelphia improved to 18-5 since the All-Star break, while Atlanta lost its third straight.
Derrick Coleman did not play because of a left quadriceps contusion. Kenny Thomas started and finished with 18 points and a game-high 11 rebounds.
Jason Terry's layup with 7:08 left in the third quarter cut the lead to 65-55, but the Hawks never got any closer.
