- Allen Iverson looked like he might be on his way to another career game when he put up 45 points in the first three quarters against his favorite foils, the Milwaukee Bucks.
After a quiet fourth quarter, Iverson settled for 48 points and leading Philadelphia to a 118-111 victory Tuesday night over the Bucks, who have been burned for three straight games of at least 40 points by the 76ers All-Star.
"Honestly, they play me one-on-one, straight up," Iverson said of a Bucks' defense he penetrated at will. "Except in the last quarter. I guess they felt like they had to do something."
By then, it was too late.
Iverson reached 40 points against the Bucks for the sixth time in his career, his most against any opponent. He had 40 and 54 points in his previous two games versus Milwaukee.
"AI has our number," said Mo Williams who drew the difficult task of trying to stop Iverson. "He seems to play really, really well against us."
He got off to a fast start in this one, scoring 20 in the first quarter.
"He was just on fire," Williams said after watching Iverson make 18-of-30 shots, including five 3-pointers. "He was in such a good rhythm that really nobody could stop him tonight."
Sixers coach Jim O'Brien could only agree after Philadelphia beat the Bucks for the third time this season.
"It was the quickest 40 points I think I have ever witnessed," O'Brien said. "He was spectacular."
Kyle Korver had 20 points and Chris Webber added 15 before fouling out with 2:02 left in the game as the Sixers snapped a three-game losing streak and won with Webber for the first time.
Michael Redd had 35 points, Desmond Mason added 28 and Williams 22 and nine assists and three steals for Milwaukee, which had won six of seven at home.
Iverson had a career-high and NBA season-high of 60 points set against Orlando on Feb. 12 and seemed set to surpass before coming up with just one 3-pointer in the fourth quarter.
The Bucks made a game of it in the fourth by making 16-of-18 free throws and getting 10 points from Mason and nine from Redd.
"When he gives you 48 points in three quarters, it's amazing," Webber said. "I've seen him go off like that before, but it's always been against me. It was fun to pump him up and talk to him to keep him going.
The Sixers (27-29) pulled to 1½ games behind Atlantic Division-leading Boston in Webber's second game since being traded by Sacramento just before the deadline.
"It was just important to get the first win with Chris," Iverson said. "The first game bothered him a lot."
In his Sixers' debut on Saturday, Webber had 16 points, 11 rebounds and three steals, but missed a last-second layup in a 101-99 home loss against the Kings.
Iverson, who had eight assists and four steals, took only three shots in the fourth.
Milwaukee opened the quarter with a 15-6 run and pulled to 102-93 on two free throws by Mason with 7:12 left in the game. Iverson missed his first shot of the quarter just before Korver hit a 3-pointer that pushed the lead back to 10 points.
Webber fouled out when he bumped Redd in the backcourt. Redd made the two free throws to get the Bucks to 114-107. The Bucks never got closer than seven the rest of the way.
Korver hit a 3-pointer to start a 20-6 run in the third quarter, highlighted by Iverson's three 3-pointers. The Sixers opened a 91-71 lead with 2:00 left in the third.
Iverson was great from the tip, darting through the Bucks and taking advantage of Williams on the defensive end. Iverson was 9-of-13 from the floor and hit eight consecutive shots to help the Sixers take a 36-33 after one.
Iverson had 10 points in the second quarter on four driving layups and two free throws.
Iverson also turned in some tough defense, taking a charge from Mason. Iverson, flat on his back, watched as the Bucks coach Terry Porter was called for a technical on the play.
Mason had 18 points for the Bucks in the first half, including a three-point play just before the half that cut the Sixers' lead to 65-58. - Спорт
I just love it when Iverson starts shakin' his head like "No one can guard me!"
i am a huge kobe fan but i would agree that allen iverson was the best player in the nba that season.how could that announcer say that u cant build ur team around iverson?if they dont remember iverson lead his team to the finals back then when the eastern conference was actually good
Never be another player like him. Non stop excitement and fun to watch, even just basic jumpshots look amazing.
Allen Iverson is just way too good, he became my favorite player in the 01 playoffs
4:32 is fukkkin sweet
simple play but he made it look so amazing..
AI's layups are very very unique. hard to imitate.
It's like ai heard the bucks announcer saying he's not the best player
who's andre igodoola?
+DLove hahahahahahahah i thought the same haha
*igodilla
The Unsurs in the building
Who the hell is the unsur??
2:50 Uhm....did that announcer just compare A.I. with gigantic centers and then come to the conclussion taht you wouldn't want to start him, but taht he can still be good on a team? How can they so easily concluide heæs nowhere near being the best player in teh league..
That's just...awful... one of the greatest ever to play NBA - appereantly not among the best in the league or someone you'd want to start a game.. ok..
adelachaudh that commentator was a biased buffoon who got tired of AI destroying his trash Bucks.
He said he wasn't the best not he wasn't near being the best. He is entitled to his opinion but that announcer, a Bucks announcer at that, was giving props to A.I. the entire game
I would 100% say the best scorer in the league
@@gangstagummybear3432 I would too, but I was trying to be as objective as possible hahah
Guy tore the Bucks up that year lol
Thats why the announcer was mad and said « you would not start your team with allen iverson » lol 3:02
On this days to make iverson miss you have to put several fresh defender trought out the game on him because he just see that he will never gona get tired A.I. IN THIS DAY I DONT HAVE TO PROVE NOTHING HE ALREADY DONE IT
KILLIN MO WILLIAMS LOL
amazing!!!
Higher avg than the big men
These annoucers dont know what they are talking about. Shaq was on the heat that season,was not playing like he was in LA and had D Wade;Duncan was not dominating that season and Ginobili and Parker were starting to play real well, and KG was not taking the Twolves anywhere.Iverson took the sixers to the finals without Korver, Webber, Iguodala, and Dalembert; Iverson was havin a better year than his MVP season and if it wasn't for Nash doing what he did on the suns Iverson was definitely #1 n 05
But he is one heck of a scorer ill give him dat.
Wow how many he scored in just the 1st quarte?It's amazing.
Sixers playoff series against Raptors will give you a better analysis of who A.I. really was as an NBA player. That series tells you everything. In one of the games he dished out 18 assists and that was just a tip of the iceberg.
0:01 i love andre igoodoola
missing AI...
seems to me like he was talking about him as a player you'd start to build your team around, not as a starter. I can see the point he's making.
Mo williams cant guard A.I
Prevented Anthony from developing into what? The Millenium version of Glenn Robinson
lol igoudila!
I don't thinks he is a ballhogg but i agree that it was not the best move to go to denver 2 major scorers doesn't work, it never has for AI
igodula ahhahaahahah
Watch the Nuggets, Iverson doesnt even try to swing the ball or create ball movement. He also proved to be a bad leader or example, how do u instantly get 2 technicals like how he did in the playoffs. Bringing him in to denver was a bad idea he hogs the ball and prevents Anthony from developing. He's a good scorer but he hardly ever swings the ball he just rushes in rite when he gets it tryin to do shit himself
