www.nba.com For the second time in a week, a shot in the closing seconds kept the Philadelphia 76ers from getting back in the win column. Aaron Brooks made a jumper with 8.8 seconds remaining, and the Houston Rockets handed the 76ers their 12th straight loss, 96-91 on Friday night. “Coach said to spread the floor and see if you can get a shot,” Brooks said of his game-sealing jumper. “That’s what happened.” Brooks had 16 of his 19 points in the second half, including two 3-pointers as the Rockets went on a 13-0 run in the third quarter and never looked back. The Rockets have won five of their last six, with four of those victories coming on the road. “A terrific win for us,” Houston coach Rick Adelman said. “We were flat in the first quarter. The bench did a great job getting us in the game.” Carl Landry came off the Rockets bench and led the team with 20 points, going 12 for 14 from the free throw line. Chase Budinger added 15 points and Kyle Lowry, who went to Villanova, had 11 points. Houston’s reserves outscored the Philadelphia bench 46-6. Allen Iverson, in his third game back after his short retirement, shot 7 of 18 from the field and had 12 of his 20 points in the fourth as Philadelphia charged back. His pull-up jumper with 1:06 remaining pulled the Sixers within three points. Elton Brand, who scored 19 points and added 10 rebounds, then missed a 16-foot jumper before Luis Scola got the rebound. On the ensuing play, Brooks penetrated before connecting with the 18 …

Date: December 26, 2009. Boxscore: scores.espn.go.com Kobe Bryant scored 38 points and the Los Angeles Lakers bounced back from a humbling Christmas Day loss to Cleveland by beating the Sacramento Kings 112-103 on Saturday night in double overtime. After Lamar Odom opened the second overtime with a putback basket, Bryant connected on a pair of 3-pointers to put the Lakers in front 109-103 with 2:37 left. Los Angeles outscored the Kings 11-2 in the second OT. Beno Udrih scored 23 points for the Kings, who held the Lakers scoreless in the final 3:35 of the fourth quarter to force overtime. Tyreke Evans had 18 points, Donte Greene had 16 and Omri Casspi added 15 points and 10 rebounds. Pau Gasol had 24 points and 11 rebounds for the Lakers, who avoided losing consecutive games for the second time this season. Shannon Brown scored 15 points and Odom had 13 points and 15 rebounds. Seemingly bothered by a sore right arm, Bryant missed all four shots in the fourth quarter, when he began passing and shooting with his left. Yet Bryant did slap the ball away Evans in the closing seconds as the Kings never got a shot off, forcing overtime with a 94-all tie. Bryant was his usual self offensively, but it was Brown helping the Lakers pull away in the fourth quarter. Brown scored eight points over a two-minute stretch, his three-point play putting Los Angeles ahead 92-85 with 4:23 remaining. An enthusiastic crowd, only the second sellout of the season, loudly booed the Lakers when …

George Karl called being on the court his sanctuary. Carmelo Anthony answered his coach’s prayer. Anthony scored 40 points, including the winning basket, and Denver overcame LeBron James’ monstrous night to end the Cavaliers’ 13-game winning streak with a 118-116 victory in overtime Thursday night in Karl’s first game since revealing he has neck and throat cancer. “I think he’s happy,” Anthony said of his coach. “This boosted his spirit up a lot. In the back of our mind, we know his situation. We’re playing for him.” James had his triple-double by the end of regulation, and became the first NBA player with at least 43 points, 13 rebounds, 15 assists, two steals and four blocks, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. James’ triple-double came in front of Oscar Robertson, who averaged a triple-double during the 1961-62 season. He was honored before the game along with Jerry West, James and Anthony as co-captains of US Olympic gold medal basketball teams. Robertson and West captained the Americans’ gold medal in 1960, while James and Anthony were the co-captains in 2008. James is also the first player to have at least 40 points, 15 assists and 13 rebounds in a game since Robertson had 42 points, 18 assists and 15 rebounds on Feb. 13, 1962. “In that sense, it’s huge because of what he was able to do,” James said. “But in the sense of us losing the ball game, it means nothing.” Anthony matched him shot for shot, hitting the winner on a deep jumper over an outstretched James …

AI and the 76ers went home losers again. “It’s going to have to be one of the best games ever from us in order to win,” Allen Iverson said. They sure didn’t play one against Detroit. Rodney Stuckey scored 27 points and hit the winner with 8.7 seconds left to lead the injury-plagued Pistons to a 90-86 win over Philadelphia on Wednesday night, the 76ers’ 11th straight loss. New Jersey and Minnesota are the only teams with worse records than the Sixers. The Sixers haven’t won since Nov. 18 vs. Charlotte and they’ve lost by five or less points six times during the skid. Stuckey had the ball stripped by Andre Iguodala, but he grabbed the loose ball and tossed it in for the go-ahead basket with 1 second left on the shot clock. Iguodala went for the win, but his open 3-point attempt was no good. He scored 18 points. Pistons coach John Kuester said Stuckey was the right player to take the shot. “No question I want the ball in his hands,” he said. “You saw a lot of growth in a young man. I’ve been telling people about how good he can be. He can be one of the best guards in the league and he showed it tonight.” Iverson, once the best guard in the league, scored 11 points in his second game with the Sixers. He hit the tying jumper with 1:06 left that made it 86-all. Iverson is 0-5 this season — three losses with Memphis; two with the 76ers. Iverson missed seven of 10 shots from the floor and had three assists. “It’s going to get better,” Iverson said. “This is one of these times …
