Allen Iverson wasn't going to let Vince Carter show him up.
Iverson, playing with an injured big toe, scored 44 points, including 30 in the final 19 minutes, as the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Toronto Raptors 106-93 Wednesday night in a preview of a potential first-round series in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
"When you have that type of quality player come in, you want to step it up," Iverson said. "When you add to that he's coming into my house, I want to play good in front of my fans. It's my house."
Carter overcame a tough first half to score 26 points. He scored almost all of his points on jumpers and was held without a dunk for the second straight game.
"Not many people can stop him," Carter said about Iverson. "We were just added to that list."
Tyrone Hill added 20 points and 12 rebounds for the Sixers and Eric Snow had 11 points and 14 assists. Tracy McGrady added 20 for Toronto, which lost its second straight game after winning 11 of 12.
It was the fourth straight victory for the 76ers, who pulled into a tie with Toronto for the fourth spot in the conference at 39-28.
Iverson, who will have X-rays on his injured left toe Thursday, scored 15 of his points in the third quarter as the Sixers pulled away. Iverson started 2-of-8 and finished 17-of-29, including 9-of-9 from the foul line. He was 8-of-10 in the fourth quarter for 16 points.
"He's fun to watch," said Aaron McKie, who had 11 points. "Sometimes you get caught up in what he's doing. I don't think there's anybody on the planet who could have stopped him."
The Raptors hit their first eight shots of the third quarter and got within 55-54 on a jumper by McGrady. But the Sixers went on a 16-3 run, fueled by nine points from Iverson, to take their biggest lead to that point, 71-57, with 2:25 left in the third.
Iverson put the Sixers ahead 62-54 by completing a three-point play after a driving runner over McGrady with 4:25 left in the third. He capped the run with another driving layup.
"I hit a couple baskets in a row and I was shocked they didn't run at me," Iverson said.
Toronto got within 80-74 on a jumper by Carter early in the fourth quarter before the Sixers scored nine straight. The Raptors never got closer than 11 the rest of the game.
"Allen made some shots you don't see very often and Aaron did a terrific job on Vince," Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "Anytime we get a win, it gets us closer to the playoffs."
Charles Oakley left the game after picking up his fifth foul with 5:37 remaining in the third. He did not return. Toronto trailed 57-54 at the time.
"We've got to find a way to keep up our energy when we play these guys," Toronto coach Butch Carter said.
The Raptors have lost five straight to Philadelphia, including three this season.
Carter, who also started 2-of-8, finished 10-of-24. He hit his first shot of the game and missed his next six before hitting a 3-pointer at the end of the first quarter to give Toronto a 21-18 lead. Carter was 2-of-11 at halftime then nailed three straight jumpers in the third quarter.
Theo Ratliff blocked Carter's lone dunk attempt at the end of the first half.
Notes: George Lynch left in the first quarter with a strained medial collateral ligament in his right knee. He did not return. Lynch fell to the floor, clutching his knee after colliding with Hill. The entire Sixers bench, including most of the coaches, gathered around Lynch while trainers attended to him. . . Iverson's 44 points were the most ever against Toronto. . . Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson attended the game and received a standing ovation upon his introduction. . . Philadelphia is 12-5 since acquiring Toni Kukoc on Feb. 16. . . The Sixers honored broadcasting legend Bill Campbell during a halftime ceremony. Campbell broadcast more than 1,700 Philadelphia Warriors and Sixers games, including Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game on March 2, 1962.
Another 50-point game by Allen Iverson wasn't enough for the Philadelphia 76ers.
Iverson became only the seventh player in NBA history to score at least 50 points in consecutive games, but he fouled out with 4.5 seconds left, putting Mehmet Okur on the line for the winning free throws in Utah's 103-101 victory over the 76ers on Monday night.
"I had a hot hand and Coach (Jim O'Brien) called my number," Iverson said. "That's with anybody, though. If a guy's going well, you milk it. You just keep running the same play over and over until they stop it."
Iverson followed up his 54-point game in Milwaukee with 51 this time, becoming the first Sixers player to score 50 in back-to-back games and the first Philadelphia player to accomplish the feat since Wilt Chamberlain for the Warriors in 1962.
The last NBA player to score 50 points in consecutive games was Antawn Jamison in December 2000 with the Golden State Warriors. Iverson joined Rick Barry, Elgin Baylor, Chamberlain, Bernard King, Michael Jordan and Jamison as the only players to accomplish the feat.
Iverson scored 21 in the third quarter to help the Sixers overcome a 16-point halftime deficit, only to watch the comeback fall short from the bench. After Okur hit his foul shots, a running layup attempt by Willie Green clanged off the back of the rim, and the Jazz snapped a seven-game road losing streak and a three-game skid overall.
Okur finished with 20 points and Carlos Boozer led Utah with 28 as four Jazz players finished in double figures.
After blowing their big halftime lead, the Jazz used a 15-4 run in the fourth quarter keyed by Boozer and Carlos Arroyo, who finished with 11 assists.
"We started feeling sorry for ourselves a little bit in the second half," Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said. "But fortunately they stuck together and a couple guys made real hard, hustle plays."
Iverson hit a running layup and Kyle Korver, who had 16 points, drained his fifth 3-pointer to tie it at 101 in the final minute.
Iverson single-handedly turned around a game that, for the first half, was sloppy.
Trailing 57-41 at halftime, the Sixers scored 38 points in the third quarter using runs of 16-6 and 20-10 to erase Utah's lead in less than 12 minutes.
Iverson scored on a variety of shots, hitting 3-pointers, off-balance drives and a reverse left-handed layup that brought the crowd to its feet. He went 18-for-31 from the field, including 4-of-6 from 3-point range, and 11-of-17 from the line. He also had six assists.
"He puts up 50 points two nights in a row and he's still looking for us," Korver said. "A lot of guys are capable of putting up 50 points back-to-back nights, but they (think), this is my show. He wasn't like that. It's pretty amazing."
The teams combined for 30 fouls and 27 turnovers in the first 24 minutes, and the game was marred by five technical fouls, including an ugly altercation early in the third quarter.
Philadelphia's Corliss Williamson was ejected with 6:26 to play in the third after being assessed with a technical foul for grabbing Utah's Matt Harpring by the nape of his neck after the two were battling for position under the basket.
Williamson held onto Harpring for a few seconds before shoving him into the crowd. It was his second technical foul of the game.

The Philadelphia 76ers played more like a playoff team than one mired in a miserable stretch of basketball.
Thaddeus Young had 26 points and 14 rebounds, Allen Iverson scored 20 points and the 76ers snapped a 12-game losing streak with a 117-101 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Monday night.
Iverson was a rookie the last time the Sixers lost 13 straight in the 1996-97 season. He played the best game of his four-game second stint in Philadelphia to help avoid another unlucky 13-game skid on his resume.
The Sixers had all five starters and two reserves score in double digits.
"We felt like once we did get a win, it was going to be extremely hard, one of the hardest games to win," Iverson said. "It was totally opposite."
Iverson hit the 20-point mark for the second straight game a day after his having his left knee drained of fluid. Young was sensational, using an 11-of-15 effort in the first half to give the Sixers a rare comfortable lead and easy win.
"It's been working for us, but we just couldn't get the win," Young said. "It really worked tonight."
Looking for a spark, 76ers coach Eddie Jordan benched power forward Elton Brand and paired rookie Jrue Holiday in the backcourt with Iverson. Jordan's move worked: Holiday had 15 points, seven rebounds and six assists.
"He just put us in a good rhythm tonight and had us flowing," Iverson said.
Brand, who was previously benched in some fourth quarters, said it was hard to complain about his role after a victory. He just can't believe he's considered a bench player early in the second year of an $80 million, five-year deal.
"When you look around at other teams, yeah," Brand said. "It's like, no disrespect, but [Golden State's] Mikki Moore gets the start and I don't. Not that he's not a good player, but, definitely."
Andre Iguodala left briefly with bruised ribs and scored 14 points on brutal 4-of-20 shooting. He's day-to-day and was not expected to practice Tuesday.
Corey Maggette led the Warriors with 24 points and Anthony Randolph had 15. Golden State lost its third straight in the finale of a five-game trip that started Dec. 7.
"You can't make excuses about a long trip," Maggette said.
Iverson's return generated a short burst of excitement, but not wins. His box office appeal is already lukewarm with only 12,795 fans listed to watch a slumping Sixers team.
Iverson joked at shootaround that after his ill-fated stint with Memphis, he sat home "trying to get fat." He wasn't in game shape and the Sixers came in with a bloated 18 losses.
He teamed with Young to make eight of 11 shots in the first quarter to help build a 12-point lead. Young really got rolling in the second quarter. He kept close to the basket and used a flurry of layups to score 14 points. He did hit a nice turnaround jumper that stretched the lead to 15.
Iverson capped the half by drawing a midair foul with 1 second left, hitting two free throws to make it 71-57.
Philadelphia won for only the third time in 19 games and its 12-game losing streak was the longest since 2006. Iverson was around for the start of that one three years ago before he was traded and the end of this one after his return.
Iverson acknowledges the years of banging down the lane and crashing the court have taken a severe toll on his 34-year-old frame. He's limited at shootarounds and practices -- by coaches decision, not complaint -- and no longer has the quickest first step in the league.
"I've been dealing with that the last 5, 6 years I've been playing," Iverson said. "I understand that when I fall or hit something that it flares up or gets irritated a lot faster than it used to. That comes from getting older."
By the time the fourth quarter rolled around, Iverson could rest. Willie Green's 3-pointer with 9:10 left in the fourth gave the Sixers 102 points, meaning free food at a fast-food restaurant for the few fans who bought tickets.
The weary Warriors had three field goals and scored 11 points in the third quarter.
"I think we'll all be glad to get home, but you still want to play as well as you can on the road," interim Warriors coach Keith Smart said. "Unfortunately, we didn't manage to do that on this trip."
