Philadelphia, PA (Basketball News) - Allen Iverson scored a career-high 60 points as the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Orlando Magic, 112-99, in a game that wasn’t as close as the score indicated at the Wachovia Center.

Iverson has now scored 50 or more points three times this season and nine times in his career. His previous career-high was 58 points scored against Houston on January 15, 2002. Corliss Williamson had a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Sixers. Leading Orlando, which has lost four of five, was Steve Francis, who had 16 points in the first half before finishing with 32.
