INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Allen Iverson had 22 points and 10 assists and the Philadelphia 76ers missed only four shots in the fourth quarter in defeating the Indiana Pacers 91-85 Wednesday night.
The Sixers received strong fourth quarters from Iverson, Keith Van Horn and Eric Snow to come back from a five-point deficit at the end of the third.
Philadelphia was only 23-for-64 from the floor through the first three quarters before making 11 of its first 13 in the fourth. The Sixers never led until Iverson swished a 19-footer from the left wing to put them ahead 68-67.
The Pacers regained a one-point lead after two free throws by Al Harrington with four minutes left. It would be their last lead of the game.
Van Horn, who scored six of his 10 points in the fourth, gave Philadelphia a 78-76 lead on a baseline dunk. He appeared to hurt his right hand on the play, shaking it as he returned downcourt.
Iverson, Van Horn and Derrick Coleman scored successive baskets to cap the 9-0 run and put the Sixers up 84-76. Coleman finished with 13 points and 11 rebounds.
Snow added 18 for the Sixers and Kenny Thomas had 10 points and 10 rebounds.
Jermaine O'Neal, playing with a bruised right shoulder, led the Pacers with 24 points and Ron Artest had 15.
O'Neal left after colliding with Coleman with about four minutes left in the second quarter. He returned midway through the fourth and scored four straight points to put Indiana ahead 72-70.
The Pacers led by nine early in the third until a quick 9-1 run by the Sixers pulled them within one. The Pacers went back up by six and again Philadelphia came back, again pulling within one.
Indiana scored the last five points of the third and led 63-58.
After shooting 35 percent in the third quarter -- and getting six points total from Van Horn, Coleman, Iverson and Snow -- the Sixers' offense got on track in the fourth. They went 13-for-17 in the floor and evened the season series at two wins apiece.
