NBA ROUNDUP | Wednesday's other games

76ers 115, Hawks 106
PHILADELPHIA -- Allen Iverson scored 29 points in his return to the lineup, Kyle Korver had 23 and Chris Webber 21 to lead Philadelphia over Atlanta, snapping a four-game losing streak. Iverson, the NBA's second-leading scorer with an average of 33.2 points, missed the last four games after he bruised and sprained his foot against Memphis on March 12. The Sixers lost all four games without him and have a tenuous hold on the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Andre Iguodala had 17 points for the Sixers, who shot 51 percent from the floor. Josh Childress had 17 points and 12 rebounds, Josh Smith had 22 points and Marvin Williams 21 for the Hawks.
Pacers 95, Bulls 85
INDIANAPOLIS -- Jermaine O'Neal scored 16 points in his first game in two months and Stephen Jackson had 12 of his 24 in the fourth quarter for Indiana. O'Neal missed 24 games with a torn left groin. He scored on his first shot with 5:58 left in the first period. Andres Nocioni had 17 points and 10 rebounds in the Bulls' fourth straight loss.
Pistons 82, Heat 73
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Chauncey Billups had 24 points and 10 assists, and Detroit rallied past Miami in a matchup of the top teams in the East. Shaquille O'Neal (thumb) returned to the Miami lineup after sitting out Tuesday's loss in Minnesota, but the Heat lost his backup, Alonzo Mourning, to a calf strain in the second quarter. As a result, O'Neal played a season-high 43 minutes, scoring 27 points. He didn't get much help from Dwyane Wade, who was held to a season-low 13 points on 3-for-15 shooting.
Magic 111, Knicks 87
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Dwight Howard had 23 points and seven rebounds, and the Magic rolled in Steve Francis' return to Orlando. Howard missed the first start of his career for Orlando after showing up late for shootaround, but the second-year standout scored 10 points in a four-minute span of the first half. In his first game at Orlando since being traded last month, Francis had just two points in 11 minutes, all in the first quarter. Eddy Curry led New York with 15 points and eight rebounds, while Stephon Marbury added 12 points and five assists. Seven Orlando players scored in double figures, including Hedo Turkoglu (16 points), Darko Milicic (13), Jameer Nelson (13) and Keyon Dooling (11).
Celtics 110, Raptors 96
BOSTON -- Paul Pierce scored 32 points in Boston's eighth straight home victory over Toronto. Delonte West scored 21 points and Wally Szczerbiak added 19 for Boston. Mike James led the Raptors with 31 points, but was held to two free throws in the fourth quarter. Chris Bosh had 24 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists for the Raptors.
