Alle Iverson scored 38 points and had 16 assists, helping the Sixers get a 126-119 overtime win over the Miami Heat on Thursday night.

``It's like a do or die situation,'' Iverson said. ``A loss here or there and we could be out of the playoffs. We understand that. It just says a lot about us.''

Dwyane Wade had a career-high 48 points, while Shaquille O'Neal returned to the Heat line-up and scored 13 points and grabbed 12 rebounds.
