In this Nov. 6, 2009, file photo, Memphis Grizzlies' Allen Iverson brings the ball upcourt against the Los Angeles Lakers during an NBA basketball game in Los Angeles.

After yesterday's Washington Wizards practice, Arenas, Washington's all-star guard, spoke with reporters about the offensive system of Sixers coach Eddie Jordan.

Rajon Rondo scored six points during a key run early in the fourth quarter, nailed a shot clock-beating jumper on the baseline in the closing seconds, and the Boston Celtics overcame poor 3-point shooting to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 113-110 on Wednesday night.

Jrue Holiday was the forgotten man on the bench, put in only as a sign of desperation when everything seemed lost for the 76ers.

A pair of struggling squads get together this evening in the nation's capital, as the Washington Wizards take on the Philadelphia 76ers from the Verizon Center.

The Philadelphia 76ers are still trying to absorb the nuances of first-year coach Eddie Jordan's Princeton-esque offense, and perhaps no player is struggling more than third-year forward Thaddeus Young , the former Mitchell High standout.
