Allen Iverson's eighth career 40-point game had a nice little unexpected bonus -- a victor
Allen Iverson's eighth career 40-point game had a nice little unexpected bonus -- a victory for the Philadelphia 76ers.
Iverson scored 41 points, upstaging Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, as the 76ers defeated the Los Angeles Lakers, 105-90, for their fourth win in five games.
In two-plus seasons, Iverson had seven previous games with 40 or more points and the 76ers lost them all. On February 12, the NBA scoring leader had a league season-high 46 points in a 98-94 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
"When I score 40 points, we've lost," Iverson said. "Tonight, we won, and I guess I finally got the monkey off my back. I didn't know what I had until I came out of the game at the end and looked up at the scoreboard. I saw what I had and said, `I hope it doesn't come back to haunt me.'"
Working primarily against Philadelphia native Bryant, Iverson shot 17-of-36 from the field. He scored between nine and 12 points in every period and added a season-high 10 assists and five rebounds.
"I wanted to get off to a good start," Iverson said. "Some earlier shots were going off the rim, then all of a sudden, my shots began to drop. My teammates began to get the ball to me, they did a good job as always of getting me the ball in the right spot, and I was able to make the big shots at the end."
"The little kid was phenomenal," Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "I had to take him out at the beginning just to calm him down because he was really wired. Yeah, he took a lot of shots, but for the most part, his selection was good."
With 55 seconds left, he exited to a thunderous ovation and a chant of "Beat LA" from the First Union Center crowd that recalled the rivalry between these teams from a generation ago.
O'Neal and Bryant scored 23 points each for the Lakers, who fell to 1-3 on their six-game road trip. Los Angeles has lost its last three meetings with Philadelphia, with Iverson averaging 34.3 points. The 76ers had not beaten the Lakers three straight times since the 1981-82 and 1982-83 seasons, when the teams met in consecutive NBA Finals.
"This team has come a long way," Brown said. "I hope we can keep a level head, where they can expect to play well against the good teams, as well as playing well against teams with records worse than theirs."
Lakers forward Dennis Rodman missed his fourth straight game due to an excused absence for personal reasons. With the mercurial Rodman in the lineup, Los Angeles is 9-0. Without him, it is just 8-9.
"We'll welcome him with open arms when he comes back," Lakers coach Kurt Rambis said. "But I have no idea when he's coming back."
"He's obviously a factor," O'Neal said. "He has personal problems, whatever that means, nobody really knows. I don't think about it. I know the organization will do what they have to do."
O'Neal was saddled by foul trouble, eventually fouling out with just four rebounds midway through the final period. He also missed 5-of-12 free throws and committed five turnovers.
Iverson thoroughly outplayed O'Neal and Bryant in the third quarter, when the Sixers took control. After a 3-pointer by Glen Rice -- his first basket of the game -- gave the Lakers a 56-54 lead, Iverson made a jumper and 3-pointer and set up two baskets during a 12-2 burst that gave Philadelphia a 66-58 lead with 5:50 remaining.
Iverson buried a 22-footer to trigger a 6-0 spurt. Tyrone Hill and Aaron Mckie made free throws before Iverson fed Theo Ratliff for a dunk and a 74-62 bulge with 2:02 left in the period.
"For the most part, we did what we wanted to do," Lakers coach Kurt Rambis said. "We forced him (Iverson) to take a lot of outside shots. Unfortunately for us, he made a lot of them."
"Coach Brown noticed that we didn't defend the pick-and-roll very well, so he let Allen run the pick-and-roll and they did a very good job of setting screens and getting him open," Bryant said.
O'Neal and Bryant combined for no baskets in the third quarter as the Lakers shot just 17 percent (3-of-18). Iverson scored 11 in the period, which ended with Philadelphia holding a 76-67 lead.
Iverson had a jumper and 3-pointer early in the fourth quarter before a 3-pointer by Rice and a dunk by Robert Horry pulled Los Angeles within 83-77 with 9:44 to go. Iverson made a pair of free throws and a technical foul shot on O'Neal. Matt Geiger hit a jumper and two free throws off O'Neal's fifth foul as the Sixers rebuilt the lead to 90-77 with 6:33 left.

Ray Allen was so unstoppable in the early going that Allen Iverson's astonishing finish wasn't enough.
Allen tied an NBA playoff record with nine 3-pointers and had his own 17-0 run as the Milwaukee Bucks held off an Iverson-led rally for a 110-100 win over the Philadelphia 76ers to force a seventh game in the Eastern Conference finals.
Game 7 will be Sunday in Philadelphia, with the winner moving on to play the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals.
"It was scary being able to score like that knowing I hadn't been shooting the ball real well," said Allen, who finished with a career playoff-high 41 points. "I was asking myself, 'Where has this been for the past couple of games?'"
The Bucks let a 33-point lead dip to 10 in the fourth quarter as Iverson was phenomenal, scoring 26 of his 46 points. He finished three points shy of the NBA record for most points in a quarter, set by Sleepy Floyd of Golden State in 1987.
Allen's final two 3-pointers were the biggest of the game, coming after Philadelphia had pulled within 10 with 5:14 remaining.
"When [Iverson] went on that run, it seemed like he was unstoppable," Allen said. "He almost pulled it off."
Allen's performance came one day after he alleged that the NBA would rather see a 76ers-Lakers Finals than a Bucks-Lakers Finals. He spent a long time before the game sitting at his locker defending his words, then went out and made the biggest statement of the series.
Hitting four consecutive 3-point shots, Allen scored 19 consecutive Milwaukee points over the final 5 1/2 minutes of the first quarter and the first 1 1/2 minutes of the second. When he was finished, the Bucks had turned a 14-11 lead into a 33-15 edge.
Allen had 25 points at halftime, 31 before the second half was two minutes old. His nine 3-pointers tied the NBA record set by Rex Chapman of Phoenix in 1997 and matched by Vince Carter of Toronto against the 76ers on May 11.
In the highest scoring game of the series, the Bucks improved to 3-0 this postseason when facing elimination.
"We just had to keep our composure. We've been known to blow leads," Allen said.
After being forced to play Philadelphia's slowdown style during the previous three games, the Bucks turned this one into an uptempo game as soon as they could.
Iverson made his first two shots -- both 3-pointers -- but was hit with a technical foul by referee Joey Crawford midway through the first quarter. That turned out to be the moment when the momentum shifted squarely in Milwaukee's favor.
Allen hit the technical free throw for a 17-15 lead, then closed the quarter with a pair of 3s. Allen started the second quarter with another 3-pointer, then came up with a steal, two foul shots and a 3-pointer in transition that made it 33-15.
"Every night we try to play the way we want to play," Bucks coach George Karl said. "Making shots and playing with a lead makes them play uptempo. It's pretty simple stuff."
Glenn Robinson scored his first points of the game on a corner jumper that gave the Bucks a 40-17 lead, and Allen added two more 3-pointers over the final 2:04 of the second quarter to give Milwaukee a 60-31 halftime advantage.
Allen began the third quarter with yet another 3-pointer, then converted a fast-break layup on which he was fouled by Aaron McKie. He pumped his fists as he lay on the ground, then got up and completed the three-point play.
He later fed Robinson for a 3-pointer after Sam Cassell grabbed an offensive rebound, making it 75-46.
Iverson went to the bench with 2:37 left in the third quarter and the 76ers trailing by 28, then came out and had a four-point play, a three-point play, a 3-pointer and two foul shots early in the fourth quarter as the Sixers pulled to 84-73 with eight minutes left.
Allen hit his eighth 3-pointer with 6:21 left for an 89-75 lead and his ninth with 4:54 left to make it 92-79. Iverson reached 24 points for the quarter by converting a three-point play with 4:37 left, but Milwaukee scored the next four points to end the threat.
"We're experts at blowing leads. That's our forte," Karl said. "We usually let it get to five; tonight we stayed at 10."
Robinson had 22 for the Bucks and Scott Williams played his best game of the series in scoring 12 points -- including 10 of Milwaukee's first 14.
Williams also delivered a hard foul on Iverson just over two minutes into the game, elbowing Iverson hard in the shoulder as he drove the lane. Williams was called for a flagrant foul, and Iverson rubbed his shoulder before going to the foul line and missing his first attempt -- much to the delight of the sellout crowd of 18,717.
Iverson hit 3-pointers on his next two touches, but the technical foul seemed to take him out of his rhythm just as Allen was starting to get a groove.
"If we play like we're capable of playing and not let the referees have a hand in the outcome of the game, then we'll have nothing to worry about," Allen had said Thursday.
Turns out Allen was right, although Iverson did all he could to make the Bucks sweat.
"I bet they know now that if they get us down by 30 Sunday we're not going to give up," Iverson said.
