AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Dec. 26 (UPI) -- Allen Iverson hit a fadeaway jumper with 2 seconds to play Friday, allowing the Detroit Pistons to escape with a 90-88 victory over Oklahoma City.

The Thunder, seeking their fourth victory of the year, rallied from a 13-point deficit in the final 6 minutes and tied the game on Joe Smith's jumper with 19 seconds to go.

Iverson then scored the last of his 22 points to give the Pistons their second straight win. Jeff Green's attempt to tip in a lob toward the basket failed just before the buzzer.

Tayshaun Prince added 16 for Detroit. Rasheed Wallace and Rodney Stuckey had 12 points each and Antonio McDyess had 10.

Kevin Durant paced Oklahoma City with 26 points.
