SEATTLE - Allen Iverson scored 12 of his 28 points in the third quarter, and the Philadelphia 76ers snapped a three-game skid holding on for a 96-90 win over the Seattle SuperSonics on Wednesday night.

Iverson made just 6 of 22 shots, but was nearly perfect at the free-throw line, hitting 14 of 16 attempts. Philadelphia opened the season 3-0, but dropped its last three and hadn't played since falling to at home to Denver 108-101 last Friday.

Andre Iguodala just missed a triple-double with 12 points, eight rebounds and nine assists. Samuel Dalembert added 12 points.

Rashard Lewis led Seattle with 25 points and 15 rebounds. Ray Allen scored 22 points, but made just 2 of 7 shots in the fourth quarter.

The Sonics rallied in the closing minutes, pulling within 91-87 on Luke Ridnour's jumper with 59 seconds left. Iverson was fouled and made 1 of 2 free throws with 37 seconds left. Allen was then fouled, but also split his free throws missing a chance to make it a one-possession game.

Kyle Korver made two free throws pushing the lead back to 94-88 with 26 seconds left. Seattle turned it over on its next possession and Iverson made two more free throws to seal the win.

Seattle had its three-game win streak snapped. The Sonics won the last three games of an East Coast road trip and a win over the Sixers would have matched Seattle's longest win streak from a season ago.

Ridnour followed up his career-high 32 points against New Jersey on Monday with 20 points and seven assists, but Seattle failed to find a fourth scorer. The Sixers bench outscored Seattle 30-12, and the SuperSonics got no inside help. Philadelphia outscored Seattle 48-28 in the paint and Seattle's Nick Collison, Chris Wilcox and Johan Petro combined for just 12 points. Collison was 0-for-6 shooting.

Philadelphia took it's biggest lead at 80-65 early in the fourth quarter, but Seattle scored the next nine points, capped by Allen's high-banking, left-handed layup and was fouled. The three-point play pulled Seattle within 80-74.

But Iverson made two free throws and Willie Green tipped in Iguodala's missed dunk to put the lead back at 10, an advantage that held off Seattle's final charge.

Philadelphia closed the third quarter on a 9-1 run capped by an Iguodala dunk, after Seattle had closed within five.
