PHILADELPHIA, March 8 (Ticker) -- Eric Snow finally did something to get noticed.

Snow scored 10 of his career-high 25 points in the final six-plus minutes, helping the Philadelphia 76ers surge to a 109-100 victory over the Indiana Pacers.

Sharing a backcourt with Allen Iverson has not afforded Snow much attention. The defensive-minded point guard missed the first 21 games of the season recovering from a broken thumb and slowly has worked his way back into shape while Iverson carried the offense.

Iverson did it again in this one, scoring 41 points for his fourth 40-point game in the last five contests. But this time he got some help from Snow, who made 9-of-13 shots and 6-of-7 free throws.

"The last year, I wasn't able to practice or play, and that's where I get better," Snow said. "I've now been able to do both on a consistent basis and that's been a part of what I've been able to do."

Snow matched his previous career high, set against Boston on November 11, 2000. He added eight assists and six rebounds as he led the 76ers to their fifth victory in six games.

"He has just been playing well," Iverson said. "I said after the last game that we need E. to perform at a high level. He's still bothered by his ankle, but he's put it behind him and he's balling, just like we need him to, and that's important for us." Iverson was not particularly sharp, making just 13-of-36 shots. But he sank 14-of-16 free throws and handed out eight assists in the 42nd 40-point game of his career and ninth this season.

Jermaine O'Neal had 25 points and 12 rebounds for the Pacers, who erased an 11-point third-quarter deficit but dropped their second straight game.

"Philadelphia did what they had to do in the stretch," Pacers coach Isiah Thomas said. "You got to give them credit for knowing how to get there and knowing what to do. That's what veterans do. They've been around for a while and they know how to do it." Philadelphia (32-29) remained fifth in the Eastern Conference, one-half game ahead of Orlando. Indiana (30-32) remained eighth, one-half game ahead of Washington.

"I'm pleased with the way we're playing," Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "This is so wild the way the division and conference is going. We just got to hang on until we get those two guys (Aaron McKie and Derrick Coleman) back. Maybe we're developing some bench strength and maybe this will turn out all right."

The Pacers cut an 11-point deficit to 74-70 entering the fourth quarter and scored the first seven points of the final period to take a 77-74 lead. Snow had a pair of jumpers to help the Sixers regain an 88-86 advantage with 5:34 remaining.

Former Sixer Kevin Ollie made three free throws around two by Austin Croshere as Indiana reclaimed a 91-88 edge with 3:35 to play. A 3-pointer by Iverson tied it nine seconds later.

"When up by three with three or four minutes left, that's when we really had to buckle in," Pacers guard Reggie Miller said. "Iverson's three was big because it gave them life again."

"The fourth quarter when they went up by three, we kept fighting," Iverson said. "In the past, we might have threw in the towel. We just felt like we were going to win."

The teams traded baskets before Snow found Matt Harpring for a corner jumper, giving Philadelphia the lead for good at 95-93 with 1:41 left. Snow made a pair of free throws on each of the next two possessions and Iverson did the same, completing a 10-0 run for a 103-93 lead with 40 seconds to go.

"Harping's jumper was huge because things were struggling, but we had a lot of guys play great," Brown said. "We made plays down the stretch. Allen and Eric stepped up and made big free throws. It was a good win, especially as shorthanded as we are against a team that I think that's going to be really good." Harpring scored 14 points, Dikembe Mutombo added 13 and Corie Blount nine and 14 rebounds for the Sixers, who shot 47 percent (40-of-85) and held a 49-38 rebounding edge.

Jonathan Bender scored 17 points off the bench and Miller added 15 for the Pacers, who shot 43 percent (33-of-77) and fell to 2-1 against the Sixers this season.

Philadelphia led by as many as 14 points in the first quarter before settling for a 54-50 halftime advantage behind 18 points by Iverson. A basket by Iverson rebuilt the lead to 68-57 with 7:26 left in the third quarter.
