    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Allen Iverson scored a season-high 46 points in his return to the lineup and the Philadelphia 76ers led all the way in a 123-108 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Friday night.

    Iverson, who missed two games earlier this week after surgery to remove an abscessed wisdom tooth, had plenty of help as the 76ers snapped a four-game losing streak. Willie Green scored 16 of his 20 points in the second quarter and Andre Iguodala followed a triple-double in his last game with 19 points and seven rebounds.

    Luol Deng scored 28 points for the Bulls, who lost their sixth consecutive game and eighth straight on the road. Andres Nocioni had 24 points and 10 rebounds, while reserve Ben Gordon scored 22.

    With their star back on the court, the 76ers scored their most points in a game this season. Iverson made his first shot -- a 19-foot jumper just over two minutes in the game -- and really heated up in the second half, when he scored 32 his points.

    He finished 15-for-30 from the floor, made 16 of 17 free throws, including his first 14, and added 10 assists for good measure.

    Sparked by Iverson's return and a strong start by Iguodala, the 76ers raced to a 16-4 lead. Iguodala scored 12 points and beat the first-quarter buzzer to put the 76ers ahead 31-24.

    Green, who has averaged 20.2 points in his last five games, did his best Iverson impersonation in the second quarter. He knocked down seven straight shots and capped his run when he connected on a 3-pointer with 1.7 seconds left in the half to give Philadelphia a 60-50 lead.

    Kurt Hinrich added 18 points for Chicago, but the Bulls were unable to make up for a horrid night by center Ben Wallace. The team's key offseason acquisition played 20 minutes and did not score or grab a rebound.

    I was not able to see the game, but Wallace played a mere 19 minutes I don't know if that's due to injury or what. Anyway, the 76ers got up early and didn't let up good win for them.

    Apparently, Wallace was just not doing so hot:

The team's key offseason acquisition played 20 minutes and did not score or grab a rebound. Wallace was pulled by Skiles with 5:44 left in the third quarter and did not return.

    "I don't need any explanation for what I do," Wallace said. "If I knew the answer I'd be doing something to change it."

    "We needed some rebounding," Skiles said. "We got so far down ... I wanted to go in another direction. He's got to play better, that's obvious. But I don't want it to become the focal point. Let's put the focus on the guys who have been here."

    I hope the guy gets it together. He's been a disappointment thus far
