The Answer is "You Lose"!

The Celtics pulled off one of their most inspiring victories of the season in a gutsy 110-103 victory over the 76ers. Alan Iverson's 40-point effort was neutralized in the 4th Quarter by the hard defensive work of Delonte West.

Paul Pierce tossed in 32 to aid the cause of the 16-time World Champions, while little-used Kendrick Perkins came up huge with 12 points--but more importantly 19 rebounds and 4 assists. Ricky Davis added 26, and Raef LaFrentz hit a key three-pointer to trigger a Celtic run.

This was a night in which the Green had BOTH the offense and defense working together seamlessly. This, and the mental toughness to stay focused in crunch time, was the reason for this sweet "W". So, you let Iverson score 40--a TEAM effort will beat that kind of performance every time.
