Allen Iverson shot badly making only 11 of 24 from the field. The Sixers couldn't seem to stop turning the ball over, which fed the Raptors easy points.

Vinsanity took over the entire game, making crucial back-to-back buckets late in the fourth quarter.

Iverson hit a big 3 pointer in the final seconds but it was too late. Iverson needs to play better next game on Wednesday to have a chance.

Allen Iverson and the Sixers finally got revenge against the Pacers 88-85, who for 2 years, they couldn't beat in the playoffs.

Despite having a bad shooting night, Iverson was well supported by his teammates who made big plays at crucial times.

"I'm exhausted physically and mentally, because they brought out a lot in Allen Iverson," said Iverson. "It's been rough on me mentally. We could never get past these guys (in the playoffs)." Iverson's next challenge is uncertain, with the NY and Toronto series tied at 2-2. In the post game conference, Iverson was accompained by his son, Deuce, who has been travelling with the Sixers on the road this year.

Allen Iverson didn't match his great performance in Game 2, but the Sixers still held on to beat the Pacers 92-87.

There was a security concern before the game about the fans. Iverson was fined $5,000 by the NBA for shouting a derogatory remark about gays to hecklers the last time he played in Indianapolis. Fortunately, Indiana Pacers fans behind the 76ers bench were generally well-behaved, and so was Iverson. In the first half, Iverson had a break-away and dunked the ball, which is something rarely seen nowadays. But still, it proves he's still got the hops despite the injuries. Sixers play Wednesday as they try to wrap up the first round against the Pacers.

Iverson was one assist shy of a triple-double, he said after the game, "I really wanted it because I never did it before. To have a triple double, that's a great all-around game. And on a night like this when you have one of the greatest players to ever play the game, the whole all-around game, and he gets his jersey retired, it was something I wanted to look back on. It was a great night, my mom got to see Charles get his jersey retired, I got a chance to see it. It was something special, something I'll cherish for the rest of my life."

The Answer aka Allen Iverson came back to score 36 points in the 90-78 win over the Bucks. "If it comes to a point that somebody can guard me, then I know I'm hurt. My thing is as long as I can run, I can play. And I could run." Allen looked healthy! He also smiled at the Bucks bench on his way to a break away layup.

"I thought I might have tried to run too fast. But once I was able to deal with the pain, I was OK," he said. "I know I'll be sore tomorrow. But that's the way it goes."
