Allen Iverson Biography
A bombastic performance by Allen Iverson and Chris Webber pulls 76ers out of their slump just when they needed it most.
Allen Iverson scored 47 points and Webber added a season-high 34 (combined for 81!!!) as the 76ers ended a three-game slide with a 117-112 triumph over the New York Knicks, who have lost seven straight.
The Sixers, who lost 10 of their last 12, held on to their 1 1/2-game lead over the Chicago Bulls for the eighth and final playoff spot.
Playing a season-high 43 minutes due to injuries to Stephon Marbury and Steve Francis, rookie Nate Robinson scored a season-best 34 points, including seven during a 16-4 second-quarter charge that gave the Knicks their biggest lead at 58-46 with 2:03 left in the half.
The Sixers rallied in the final 10 minutes of the third quarter, outscoring the Knicks, 27-14, during the stretch. Iverson, who scored 30 points after halftime, put up 11 during the burst.
Iverson's 3-pointer with 2:23 left in the period gave Philadelphia a 77-75 lead, an advantage it never relinquished.
Webber chipped in 13 points in the final period for the Sixers, who shot 56 percent (40-of-72).
