BOSTON, Massachusetts (AFP) - Andre Iguodala scored 28 points and sparked a 19-0 run that lifted the Philadelphia 76ers past National Basketball Association leader Boston 95-90 here Monday.
The 76ers overcame an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter to upset the Celtics, who fell to 55-15 with their second loss in a row. The 76ers reached 36-35, the first time all season they have enjoyed more wins than losses.
Iguodala scored 10 points in a row to complete the pivotal run, making three steals and jamming home three slam dunks in the pivotal spurt for Philadelphia, which won for the 10th time in 12 games.
Andre Miller added 20 points for the 76ers while Kevin Garnett had 18 points and Leon Powe added 16 for Boston, which led 52-48 at half-time and stretched the margin as large as 80-69 with 8:20 remaining in the game.
The 76ers struck for the next 19 points, leveling at 80 when Iguodala stole the ball from Garnett and raced end to end for a slam dunk with 5:48 to play.
Iguodala's follow-up slam dunk off Miller's missed layup gave the 76ers their first lead at 82-80 with 4:45 to play and the Celtics, who went almost eight minutes without a basket from the field, never recovered.
