Sixers stop RocketsBasketball Betting Lines02/07/2010 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Andre Iguodala ended with 14 points, 10 rebounds and six assists and hit a big three-pointer down the stretch, as the Philadelphia 76ers surprised the Houston Rockets, 102-95, at the Toyota Center. Thaddeus Young netted a team-high 17 points, while Willie Green and Elton Brand chipped in 15 and 13 points, respectively for the Sixers, who have rattled off a season-high four straight wins. Aaron Brooks notched 34 points thanks to a 6-for-11 effort from behind the arc for the Rockets, who had a short two-game winning streak stopped. Kyle Lowry deposited 14 points, and Carl Landry added 13 points and 10 rebounds in the loss. Lowry left the game in the third quarter with a sprained left ankle and he's expected to miss Tuesday's game at Miami. Lowry will be re-evaluated in approximately a week. A Brooks jumper brought the Rockets within 94-91 with under three minutes remaining in regulation, but both he and Shane Battier missed potential tying three-pointers on the next possession. Iguodala answered with a three-ball with 1:37 showing, and the same Houston duo missed from behind the arc the next two times Houston had the ball. After the Sixers were whistled for a five-second violation on an inbounds pass, Battier turned it over with 33.9 seconds left to end the comeback bid. The Sixers led 26-16 late in opening quarter, but a Lowry three-point play and a Chase Budinger make from behind the arc in the final 30 seconds made it a four-point game. The momentum was firmly in Houston's favor thanks to an 18-0 stretch early in the second. Brooks twice hit from distance during the four-minute span, and another Lowry hoop and foul shot gave the Rockets a 42-30 lead midway through the frame. The big quarter had the Rockets on top 57-47 at halftime, but the Sixers stayed close in the third and trailed just 76-70 heading to the final frame. Consecutive buckets from Young followed by a Lou Williams three-pointer tied the game, 79-79, 2 1/2 minutes into the fourth. A Rodney Carney jumper on the next possession gave the visitors the lead, and it was nip-and-tuck from that point on. Game Notes Williams had nine points for Philadelphia, which received a 10-point effort from rookie Jrue Holiday...Philadelphia made 48.6 percent of its shots from the floor, compared the Houston's 41.0 percent shooting effort...Samuel Dalembert grabbed 10 rebounds for the Sixers...Rockets swingman Trevor Ariza was forced to exit the game in the final moments of the fourth quarter with a left hip pointer. He is listed as day-to-day.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee. "I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
