PHILADELPHIA -- Tony Wrotens first career start resulted in the first triple-double of his life. Wroten had 18 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, James Anderson scored a career-high 36 points and Spencer Hawes made the go-ahead basket with 34 seconds left in overtime to help the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Houston Rockets 123-117 Wednesday night. Subbing for injured rookie Michael Carter-Williams, who didnt play because of a bruised left arch, Wroten made a strong case for more playing time. "First time for everything," he said. "I never had a triple-double at any level, not middle school, high school, anywhere." Jeremy Lin scored 34 points for Houston, making a career-best nine 3-pointers that tied a franchise record. Dwight Howard had 23 points and 15 rebounds, and Chandler Parsons added 22 points. Lin started for James Harden, who was out of Houstons lineup because of a bruised left foot. "It was my worst defensive game of the season," Lin said. "Tomorrow has to be my best defensive game of the season." Two days after the Sixers were blown out by San Antonio in coach Brett Browns first game against his former team, they beat general manager Sam Hinkies former club. Hinkie spent the last eight years in Houston and was the executive vice-president of basketball operations for the Rockets before coming to Philadelphia. The Sixers are off to a surprising 5-4 start that includes wins over Miami and Chicago. Theyve been far more competitive than expected. Oddsmakers predicted fewer than 17 wins. "Im proud of their competitive spirit," Brown said. "We have no right to have an inherent chemistry or camaraderie. We were thrown together in a few months. But the group trusts each other and enjoys playing together. They have resolve and a fighting spirit." The Rockets missed 10 straight shots from late in the fourth quarter into overtime before Howards basket plus free throw tied it with 2:21 left in overtime. After Lin hit a 3 for a 112-111 lead, Thaddeus Young made two free throws. Howard answered with a bucket, but Hawes put in Evan Turners miss to give the Sixers the lead for good. Young stripped Howard at the other end and Turner made two free throws to extend the lead to 117-114. Francisco Garcia then missed a 3. After Anderson made two free throws, Lin made his last 3 to get the Rockets within two. But Hollis Thompson sealed it with two free throws. Turner scored 23 and Hawes finished with 18 points and nine rebounds. "Defensively, we made great plays, especially in crunch time," Hawes said. Anderson made a 3-pointer from the top of the circle to tie it at 106 with 6.6 seconds left in regulation. After Parsons missed a long jumper, Wrotens desperation 59-footer at the buzzer rattled the rim and fell out to send the game to overtime. Down 90-80 to start the fourth quarter, the Sixers rallied behind Anderson and Hawes. Hawes and Anderson hits 3s, and a turnaround jumper by Young pulled Philadelphia within 102-101 with 2:14 left. Wrotens driving layup tied it at 103. "I got in a rhythm early and guys did a good job finding me," Anderson said. "I finally got an opportunity and its great timing." NOTES: Lins previous high was five 3s against Golden State last Feb. 5. ... Robert Horry also had 9 3s for the Rockets at Cleveland on Feb. 22, 1996. ... The Rockets play Lins old team, the Knicks, at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night to complete their back-to-back. ... Neither Harden nor Carter-Williams had missed a game before this one. ... Turner has five straight 20-point games. ... Anderson was 6 of 8 from 3-point range after shooting 9 for 27 the first eight games. ... Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels and his wife Heidi were recipients of the Sixers "Heroes Among Us" award for their charity work with children.

Starting from pole, the 26-year-old Vettel turned in a trademark clinical performance to win the Indian Grand Prix on Sunday and join F1 greats Juan Manuel Fangio and Michael Schumacher as just the third driver to win four consecutive championships. The only other driver to win four titles was Alain Prost. Vettel is also the youngest four-time world champion by eight years. "Im way too young to understand what it means," he said of his achievement. "I might be 60 one day, maybe then I will understand, but nobody cares anymore. I care. Its difficult to realize something that nobody can take away from you basically." As in the past two years in India, Vettel won from pole position, finishing almost 30 seconds ahead of Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg in second, with Romain Grosjean taking his second straight third for Lotus after starting from 17th on the grid. "Youve won it in style," an elated Red Bull team principal Christian Horner told Vettel over the car radio immediately after the race. "Brilliant stuff. Youve joined the greats." After taking the checkered flag, Vettel performed several donuts on the track before climbing from his car, acknowledging the crowd and kneeling with his head bowed to the track. He then climbed the pit lane fence to embrace members of his team. Vettel was later reprimanded and Red Bull fined 25,000 euros ($34, 500) by race stewards for the display of exuberance and failing to "proceed directly from the circuit to the post-race parc ferme (secure area) without delay." The penalties are unlikely to dampen the celebrations. "Im overwhelmed, dont know what to say," Vettel said immediately after the race. "It is one of the best days of my life. With Vettels win, Red Bull also claimed its fourth straight constructors title, despite losing Mark Webber to mechanical problems while in second place. Ferraris Felipe Massa was fourth with teammate Fernando Alonso finishing a disappointing 11th. "Today is the day to congratulate (Vettel) and for him to enjoy the championship," Alonso said, who is 115 points behind the Red Bull driver in second place in the standings with three rraces remaining.dddddddddddd Vettel has now won 10 races this season, including the last six. A clearly emotional Vettel, taking occasional swigs from his celebratory magnum of champagne, thanked his team and his family in a post-race media conference. He spoke of his respect for the Indian people and rivals including Alonso, Lewis Hamilton and Webber. "To win four titles, I dont know, its just a big number you know?" Vettel said. "Fangio put the number of five titles and everybody appreciated him as the best driver in the world. Michael (Schumacher) came along ... its incredible that one guy managed to score more championships (seven) than (Fangio) did." Starting on the quick but fragile soft tires, Vettel lasted just one lap before switching to the medium compounds, emerging from the pit lane in 17th place. Vettel wove his way back toward the front, gradually narrowing the gap and passing McLaren driver Sergio Perez on the 22nd lap to move into second behind Webber. Webber eventually entered the pits for his first tire change to soft tires on the 29th lap and Vettel made his second and last stop three laps later to new medium tires, returning to the track just over eight seconds behind Webber. When Webber switched back to medium tires two laps later, he effectively handed the race to Vettel. Red Bull then ordered a stunned Webber to stop while in second place on the 42nd lap due to a problem with his cars alternator. "Disappointing, but theres not much I can do," Webber said. "There was something wrong with the car, so we had to stop straight away." With the Australian out, the race became a tussle for the lesser podium places, with pacesetting Rosberg passing Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen for second on the closing laps before Grosjean capped a dogged race by defying the odds and reaching the podium after being eliminated in the first qualifying session Saturday. "I would not have bet a penny on me being on the podium today," Grosjean said. "But the car came back. " Vettel meanwhile was struggling to come to terms with the enormity of his achievement. "It was a difficult emotion to cross the line and feel happy all of a sudden because youre in a rhythm, you know what youre doing, you have a routine," he said. "I think it takes time to understand what happened."
