ATLANTA - Andre Iguodala scored 30 points and Andre Miller had 23 to help the Philadelphia 76ers wrap up their first playoff spot in three years with a 109-104 victory over the Atlanta Hawks tonight.
Philadelphia, which stopped the Hawks' five-game winning streak, never trailed after Miller's layup tied it at 67 with 3:09 left in the third.
Joe Johnson led Atlanta with 32 points, but he fell down and lost the ball on what appeared to be a damp floor while dribbling with 1:36 remaining.
Iguodala, who also had 10 assists, drove the length of the floor for a layup banked high off the backboard that put Philadelphia up 103-96.
The Sixers have won two straight and 21 of 28. The teams will play again tomorrow in Philadelphia, where the Sixers are 13-2 in the second game of back-to-backs.
Atlanta never got closer than an 88-all tie on Josh Childress' 8-foot runner with 6:36 remaining.
Mike Bibby had 11 assists, but he was just 1-for-11 from the field for Atlanta. Childress finished with 20 points in a reserve role.
