- The first half was Reggie Miller's. The game belonged to Allen Iverson.
Iverson scored a career playoff-high 45 points, including 19 in the third quarter, as the Philadelphia 76ers overcame Miller's 41 points, beating the Indiana Pacers 116-98 Tuesday night to even their first-round series at 1-1.
Game 3 of the best-of-five Eastern Conference quarterfinals is Saturday in Indiana.
"I'm going to remember this game for a long time," said Iverson, who also had nine assists. "I've been playing a lot off my God-given ability. This game took a lot of thinking. I'm pleased with my mental aspect coming into the game... When guys doubled me, I found my teammates and they hit the shots. I don't think I forced too many things."
Aaron McKie had 19 points and George Lynch added 16 for Philadelphia, which finished as the top team in the East for the first time since 1983-84.
Jalen Rose had 18 and Jermaine O'Neal added 11 points and 11 rebounds for the Pacers, who were down just 61-59 at halftime after getting 33 from Miller.
"I wish it was reversed," Miller said. "The game is four quarters. I hate doing things early. I like doing it late."
Iverson scored 14 of Philadelphia's final 17 points in the third, including the last 10. He drilled a 17-footer, another long jumper and hit a 3-pointer to give the Sixers their biggest lead to that point, 88-76, with 1:11 left.
After Rose hit a jumper, Iverson nailed another 19-footer as the sellout crowd of 20,739 at the First Union Center chanted "MVP, MVP" for the league's scoring champion.
Iverson pumped his fist, raised his arms and cupped his ear, imploring the fans to make more noise before he finished the quarter at the foul line, giving the Sixers a 91-78 lead on a free throw.
Indiana didn't get closer than 10 in the fourth.
"It was a phenomenal performance and it took that," Sixers coach Larry Brown said of Iverson's play.
Miller, whose three-pointer with 2.9 seconds left in Game 1 lifted the Pacers to a 79-78 comeback victory, opened the game with a 3-pointer and proceeded to hit shots from all over the court.
He scored seven straight points three different times -- at the start of the game, midway through the first and to begin the second.
Four Sixers -- Eric Snow, Kevin Ollie, Iverson and McKie -- tried to guard Miller in the first half and none could stop him.
Even Pacers coach Isiah Thomas was excited after Miller's running jumper gave Indiana a 39-37 lead midway through the second. The normally reserved Thomas clapped his hands and low-fived Miller as he ran down the court.
But Miller missed all three of his shots in the third and scored only two points on free throws as Iverson took over, helping the Sixers break open a tight game.
Miller finished 14-of-22, including 3-for-5 from 3-point range. Iverson was 15-of-27, including 3-for-7 from beyond the arc.
"They did a good job of recognizing where Reggie was (in the second half)," Thomas said. "They were double-teaming him and we didn't do a good job of finding the open guys inside."
Philadelphia stressed the importance of getting the ball inside to its big men -- Dikembe Mutombo and Tyrone Hill -- after the guards took 57 of 78 shots in the opener. But Mutombo and Hill combined for three shots in the first half and neither scored.
Mutombo finally scored on a layup with 6:23 left in the third, and finished with three points and 11 rebounds, one of his worst games since joining the Sixers in a deal at the trade deadline.
"We were making so many shots it's tough to get the big guys involved," Brown said.
Miller had 16 points in the first quarter, nearly matching his total of 17 in Game 1. He was just 5-of-21 in the opener, but made his fifth shot with 4:04 left in the first.
Thomas was very critical of the referees, even though Indiana had three fewer fouls. Thomas was most upset that Philadelphia had 17 foul shots in the third.
"I hope they allow our players to move around and run, and not be physically abused," Thomas said.
Notes: Miller fell six points shy of Sleepy Floyd's playoff record for points in a half. Floyd had 39 for Golden State in a game against the Los Angeles Lakers on May 10, 1987. ... Iverson's previous playoff high was 40 points against Charlotte last year. ... Indiana has never lost a playoff series in which it won the first game, going 11-0 since 1993-94. ... The Pacers are 5-2 in playoff games at the First Union Center. ... Thomas got a technical for arguing a foul call early in the third. ... Austin Croshere scored 10 points in a reserve role and fouled out with 5:01 left. ... Philadelphia made seven 3-pointers, a team playoff record.
iverson of 01 is unstoppable
His whole career before the sabotage.
He was special
05 as well
Except the Lakers
A.I doing the Euro-step before it WAS the euro step hahaha..
Man I can't imagine basketball without A.I....MY FAVORITE PLAYER EVER!!!
Best playoff run(and not win it all) in NBA history. They were Cinderella that year and AI was so good it was scary. They had some role players and a 6 foot, 160 lb leader that almost took them all the way against, what I think, should have been superior teams. People forget how good Iverson was. They only remember the "it's just practice" comment or his runins with Larry Brown. Or the tatoos. Bottom line,no superstar in the last 20 years(or beyond)played as hard as he did night in and night out
I think Lebron team was a bit worse, but for the fact that AI did it at basically my size made it so much more impressive.
@@Abstrack23 Iverson's 2001 is the GOAT, Lebron's 2007 is a close second though
Two legends going at it.
i remember this game like it was last week. i was in college watching in the tv room with other students. i had almost broke my hand 2 days before because i punched the pool table when Reggie hit that game winner 3. they had beat us the previous 2 seasons in the playoffs and i was like here we go again. my fav Philly sports run was this Sixers team to the finals. what a time. The Eagles winning the superbowl was the biggest moment but this was the most fun. plus i was 21 years old vs 37 when the Eagles won
Allen Iverson is the greatest player of all-time.
I love Reggie but no one was stopping AI at this time.
Just remember that Miller eliminated Iverson two years back to back prior to this season. Miller was the Iverson stopper. Miller is 2-1 in the playoffs against A.I
@@LovingYouDailydoesn’t matter. After 01 the pacers were irrelevant to Iverson.. it was the pistons who were the new problem
@@GetBackRy3x pure bull💩. Pacers was in the conference finals facing off against that pistons team in 04 while iverson was home watching. I'm a fan of iverson but let's not trash miller's greatness.
That move at 1:09 😤SHEEESH!!!
he just dominates!! this is 1 of his top games 4 sure!
Reggie Miller was extremely underrated!
Back in the day he was the best player of the world.
I miss him...
There was a game I believe where miller an rose scored 40 a piece against the sixers in a game
I remeber this game reggie miller was beyond on fire in the first half, it was ridiculous! lol
The good old days!
I think you should have called this just allen iverson 45 pts
Can you provide a link to the complete game?
would like to see more games from this series.
Nah go look up the eastern conference semi finals of the same year, sixers advance past pacers.. Ai and Vince Carter, most ridiculous series I've ever witnessed
People watching this Vide be Like.... Wow Iverson Owning the Pacers.... Ignoring How Can a 35 year Old Miller scores 41 points in the PlayOffs
35 yr old Reggie Miller went blow for blow with 25 yr old MVP iverson in this series ...crazy
i have seen a few of the greats in person and on television in 30 years of being alive.. and Larry bird, mike, Kobe, AI, wade in 06, Tim Duncan.. it’s different. When you hear the stories of these men at work.. that’s what they are men doing their job. It’s different. I’m from WV Jason Williams from DuPont HS forgot more ways to make you look silly than you ever remembered.. but Dwade is 06 heat and Jason Williams got a ring there.. 55 purple Kings jersey in my closet tells you I wanted him and cwebb to get there first.. WV history.. NFL Randy Moss doesn’t have a ring and this is a man who I’ve seen on 3 competitive levels and he was all alone on all of them. LITERALLY all alone on a talent level, athleticism level, confidence level.. and I can’t say anything against anyone who loses doing their best.. Bc Bro it’s hard to do a job do it a new way and be right about it and better than all your peers all at once. I’m thankful for the greats I’ve seen. Lebron is great Bc he gets to be talked about w mike.. Kobe is great Bc you hated that he legit nearly always did what mike could do. AI is great because he didn’t have to get out of his way to show you how great he was.. I saw him lose his shorts at a home game and score w his pants around his ankles and it was no big deal Bc AI was balls out 365.. Larry did everything on purpose. Unbelievable. .. and Dwyane Wade is the classiest human person that ever played basketball. I am glad I saw them all.
and xmac31 came from loving Reggie Miller.
lastly for the record my favorite athlete ever is PIP. what kind of a savage human person do you gotta be to be great at everything and only show it once or twice when you know he has to be lowkey semisalty always when you know you statistically are the best 2 way player in the modern era and kawhi and LBJ never said thank you
2:44 is called the bunny hop lol
You have the full series
he still is mi dude
Reggie was 👑
Nothing
But
Allen iverson
iverson was such a monster back in the day
wish detroit woulda let him start at pg with hamilton at the sg and let mcdysess run the center with rasheed at the pf
they coulda smashed, but oh well
iverson is still amazing, so amazing
1:09 to 1:13 beautiful move
lil bow wow was at this game
@zelem92 Not really in the early 2000's. Just 2000. They were in the 90's and one of those years, like 03 or something.
AI was doiNG Europe step way back in days. They didn't call it that then. It was his magic
I had a friend years and years ago. Just going on and on about how AI was and i'm like yeahhh right Reggie can lock him down. How wrong I was. :(
Clutch:
Reggie miller > Jordan >>> Kobe
Shooting
Reggie miller > Ray Allen
okay, iverson made free throws, I think we get it
AI tenth gr8est of all time, the only other player after MJ to take the NBA by storm n loved globally.
AGREE...
Wasn't 2001 Reggie last year
sixers need pat croce
Best player ever to me. AI
i think the reason that they lose is because they focus more on 2 pointers while others like kobe keeps on shooting 3 pointers
man almost every shot by a.i. was nothin but net geez miss em/
miss a.i :(
old AI!!!!
Competitor....AI
yay penny
@russelkeith hate to say it but jordan was a better scorer than iverson ok go look at the stats
@TiKayedge You can argue who the better shooter is but lmfao @ reggie being a better o/a player than Ray, that's absurd. Reggie said it himself that Ray is better off the dribble and at taking it to the hole, Reggie was a catch and shoot player his ENTIRE career Ray is just limited to that due to him being on a team with 3 other all-stars. Reggie could never cross you up drive to the hole and throw one down on you like Ray could. Sorry man..
Actually think about this, Reggie single handedly led the INDIANA PACERS to the nba finals and 5 conference finals appearance. No offense to Ray but Reggie had an absolute killer instinct that Ray
didnt
@@rattlehead54321 Exactly Reggie Miller is the Best Go Pacers
@CPBlazier ray allen is a better shooter who has made more 3's huh not reggie
Iverson never use a pass
Quick silver...AI
demand rates subsribes? and comments for pennyccw and me....wonder wat ccw stands for!!
