Game Story

SEATTLE (Ticker) -- The road trip could not be going any better 
for Allen Iverson and the Philadelphia 76ers.

Iverson scored 31 of his 34 points in the final three quarters
as the 76ers remained unbeaten on their current eight-game road
trip with a 114-107 victory over the Seattle SuperSonics.

Philadelphia entered their longest road swing of the season
having won just three of 11 games away from home, but have
captured the first three of the trip by a combined 26 points and
have won five straight on the road overall.

"It's just about playing for 48 minutes to get it done," Iverson
said.  "We believe in each other and we know that the people
back in Philly believe in us.  We just wanted to come out here
and play like we believe in ourselves.  So far, we are doing it
and it's a good feeling."

The 76ers led for most of the game, although Ray Allen scored 10
straight points midway through the final period, including a
3-pointer at the 6:26 mark that cut the SuperSonics' deficit to
98-91.

But Iverson had six points and an assist in an 8-2 spurt that
pushed the Sixers' advantage to 106-93 with just under four
minutes to go.

"He is a guy that feels the responsibility of stepping up in the
second half," Philadelphia coach Jim O'Brien said.  "He's our
leader and he knows that we are going to call his number enough
times that we are going to allow him to get hot."

Allen scored 19 of his 32 points in the fourth, but Iverson
countered with 13 to keep Seattle at bay.

"It's tough to guard someone who attacks that much," said
Seattle guard Luke Ridnour, who had 16 points and nine assists.
"He hit some big shots in that fourth quarter and got some
layups that were tough."

While Allen was outstanding, Rashard Lewis had one of his worst
games of the season with 10 points on 4-of-15 shooting.

"That's a good defensive team," Seattle coach Nate McMillan
said.  "They showed that tonight by really making Rashard and
Ray work for their points.  Their pick-and-roll defense was
solid."

The Sonics, who rank second in the league by making 38 percent
of their 3-pointers, shot just 24 percent (8-of-33) from the arc
in this one.

"We have been playing well against 3-point-shooting teams,"
Iverson said.  "We knew they were going to come out and hoist up
a lot of 3-pointers.  We just wanted to contest them and not
give them a lot of open looks.  We feel like if we got a hand up
on their 3-pointers, then we did our job."

"We were getting the same looks that we usually do, but we can't
rely on that night in and night out to hit 3s all the time,"
Ridnour said.  "We've got to find other ways to score."

Iverson and Kenny Thomas scored 13 apiece in the first half as
the Sixers shot nearly 49 percent (20-of-41) to take a 59-48
lead at the break.

Seattle trailed by as many as 15 in the third, but Reggie Evans
sparked a rally with 11 of his 14 points in the period as the
Sonics drew within 76-73 with 3:48 to go in the quarter.

But Iverson, who also had nine rebounds and seven assists, found
Kyle Korver for a 3-pointer at the other end to ignite a 9-2
run that pushed Philadelphia's edge back to double figures.
Iverson capped the spurt with a short jumper with under a minute
remaining.

Willie Green scored 20 points and Thomas added 15 for the
Sixers, who shot 80 percent (32-of-40) from the free-throw line.

"That was key," McMillan said.  "Some of those calls you feel
like it's going their way, but you've got to try and keep those
guys out of the paint and keep them in front of you."
