Allen Iverson was practically going
like 60.


Iverson scored a career-high 58 points -- the most in the NBA
this season -- as he rallied the Philadelphia 76ers to a 112-106
overtime victory over the Houston Rockets.


In his fifth career 50-point game, Iverson scored 14 in the
final seven minutes of the fourth quarter, including two free
throws with 23 seconds left that forced overtime.


In the extra session, Iverson made a jumper, a gutsy 3-pointer
and the clinching free throws as he eclipsed his previous career
high of 54, set January 6, 2001 at Cleveland.


"I have won scoring titles, I've scored 50 points before and I
have won individual awards," Iverson said. "I haven't won a
championship and that is the only thing that I am concerned
with."


Iverson made 21-of-42 shots and 14-of-14 free throws as he fell
two points shy of becoming the 17th player in NBA history -- and
the shortest -- to score 60 points in a game.


"You know something? He has the ultimate green light," Rockets
guard Cuttino Mobley said. "It's hard to stop somebody when
he's got the ultimate green light and when (he) gets hot. He's
one of the best players in the league. Plus, he's fast as all
hell."


The NBA's scoring leader more than doubled his average of 28.2
points and established a league season high, one night after Los
Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant scored 56 points in just three
quarters vs. Memphis.


"We knew when Kobe got 56, he'd have a big game," 76ers coach
Larry Brown said. "He was incredible. He played 50 minutes.
He defended and he just played a phenomenal game."


The outburst was the most by any Sixer other than the legendary
Wilt Chamberlain. Chamberlain scored a team-record 68 points at
Chicago on December 16, 1967.


The Sixers are 3-2 when Iverson scores at least 50 points. That
does not include two playoff wins over Toronto last year.


"He is just tremendous," Rockets coach Rudy Tomjanovich said.
"We were running guys at him. Iverson just shot it before we
could get anyone across the floor. He was winging them from all
over the place. It was a great performance."


Rookie Speedy Claxton scored 16 points for Philadelphia, which
has won five of its last seven games.


"(Claxton) was aggressive every time he received the ball in a
double-team, shot it, and didn't even think about it," Brown
said. "His defense is just incredible."


"The important thing is trying to stay consistent," Iverson
added. "That's what makes a team good. With bad teams, you
knock them off and good teams you try to knock them off. If you
don't, you give the effort and then that carries on to the next
game."


Cuttino Mobley scored 25 points and Kenny Thomas added 20 for
the Rockets, who wasted a 10-point fourth-quarter lead and have
alternated wins and losses in their last 11 games. Houston fell
to 2-3 in overtime.


"We have had a lot of games like this," Tomjanovich said. "Maybe
this is right where we are."


A scoop layup by Iverson moved the Sixers within 88-85 with 6:58
to go. Consecutive 3-pointers by Philadelphia natives Eddie
Griffin and Mobley rebuilt the lead to nine points, but Iverson
made two free throws and a three-point play before a jumper by
Eric Snow made it 94-92 with 2:59 left.


Thomas made two free throws, but Iverson hit the 500th 3-pointer
of his career and took a steal in for a layup, giving the Sixers
a 97-96 lead with 2:05 remaining.


Griffin turned a low-post jumper into a three-point play for a
99-97 edge with seconds to play. Iverson tied it with two from
the line 25 seconds later and the Rockets did not get off a last
shot.


"Nothing ever materialized," Tomjanovich said. "You have to
give Snow a lot of credit. (Moochie Norris) was going to take
it on his own and try to shake the guy and create something."


Iverson's jumper came after two foul shots each by Snow and Matt
Harpring and gave Philadelphia a 105-99 lead with 3:43 to play.
A jumper by Francis got Houston within 105-104, but Iverson hit
a deep pull-up 3-pointer on the next possession.


"It's just frustrating," Griffin said. "He's so small, but he's
fast. He can get a shot off because of his quickness."


A steal by Snow led to a tip-in by Dikembe Mutombo and Iverson
sealed it with two from the line with 23 seconds to go.


Snow and Harpring each scored nine points and Mutombo had eight
and 13 rebounds for the Sixers, who shot 48 percent (43-of-90),
made 24-of-26 free throws and committed just 10 turnovers.


Griffin had 17 points and 10 rebounds and Steve Francis added
13, 10 and seven assists for the Rockets, who shot 48 percent
(41-of-86). Houston made 10-of-20 3-pointers but committed 16
turnovers.

une 7, 2011- Allen "The Answer" Iverson the 14-year NBA star most notably with the Philadelphia 76ers turns 36 today. Iverson's 36th birthday comes the day after the NBA turned 65 on 6-6-11. The NBA was founded on June 6, 1946 in New York City.

The kid from Newport News was a true renaissance man to basketball. His cornrows, sick cross-over dribble, shooting sleeve, and hip-hop style moves are seen in current stars Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul, and Derrick Rose.

LeBron James is connected to Jay-Z like Iverson was linked to Jadakiss. LeBron even has a multiple of tattoos that some say were influenced by Iverson.

Iverson by all accounts is the all-time most influential player to the hoops and hip-hop culture fusion born in 1984 that is known today as The "Dunkadelic-Era" In America.

Iverson had the second most successful sneaker line of all-time behind Michael Jordan with his Reebok signature shoes. His I3 logo was very popular for over 10-years. Iverson even wore a shoe named "ATR Dunkadelic" for the last played NBA game of Michael Jordan's career on April 16, 2003 in Philadelphia, PA.

Allen was the first pick of the 1996 NBA Draft. A talent rich draft that featured Kobe Bryant, Marcus Camby, Ray Allen, Stephon Marbury, Kerry Kittles, Antoine Walker, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Steve Nash, Peja Stojakovic, Jermaine O'Neal, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Derek Fisher, and Malik Rose.

Iverson scored 24, 368 career points, was the 2001 NBA MVP, 11-time All-Star, 2-time All-Star MVP, a 4-time scoring champion, and was named the 1997 NBA Rookie-of-the-Year.

The 1996 Draft has been considered the "Hoops and Hip-Hop Culture Draft" because the players of the draft were drafted, started, and played their NBA rookie year between the death's of rap icons Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. Many of the media called Iverson the "Tupac of the NBA."

With Richard Hamilton sidelined, the Detroit Pistons abandoned their three-guard lineup and used a bigger starting unit that stifled the Milwaukee Bucks.


Tayshaun Prince scored nine of his 19 points in the decisive third quarter and Allen Iverson added 18, lifting the Pistons to an 87-76 victory Saturday night.

The Bucks had won three consecutive games, averaging 106 points during the streak. The Pistons, starting 6-foot-9 Amir Johnson in place of Hamilton, a slim 6-7 guard, held Milwaukee to 30 percent shooting.

"Everything got started because defensively we were very good," Detroit coach Michael Curry said.

Johnson had eight points, 11 rebounds and four blocked shots, giving the Pistons a different defensive look from their usual lineup that consists of 6-11 Rasheed Wallace as their only big starter.

The Pistons acknowledged after the game that they are better defensively with Johnson on the floor, and better offensively when Hamilton and Iverson are on the court together with guard Rodney Stuckey.

"When we have the bigger lineup, obviously we're better defensively," Prince said. "It's kind of pick and choose. "Sometimes you are going to need the offensive side, but more importantly you're going to need the defensive side."

The game was tight until Detroit went on a 27-5 run midway through the third quarter. Milwaukee missed 14 of 17 shots during one stretch of the period, trailed 73-55 after three quarters and never got close again.

"We've been good [defensively] in stretches, especially with two bigs on the floor," Curry said. "With the small lineup that we usually start, we give up that inside presence. Not having that other big, teams attack even more to the inside. When they attacked today, if they did get by Amir or Rasheed, the other one was there to protect the basket. They also didn't attack the paint nearly as hard."

Andrew Bogut had 17 points and 10 rebounds for Milwaukee, which mainly rested its starters for the final 15 minutes after the game was decided. Michael Redd, the Bucks' leading scorer, had four points and missed nine of 11 shots, including his last five.

"Because I'm putting the other guys in doesn't mean I'm giving up on the game," Milwaukee coach Scott Skiles said. "I still intend to win the game. It can be very confusing on certain nights of why certain guys just don't have it, but it does happen in the NBA."

Hamilton missed the game with a groin injury that he aggravated in Friday night's victory over Oklahoma City. He is listed as day to day, and Curry recognizes the need to get him back in the lineup.

"We all understand that we have two shooting guards and both of them are very, very good," Curry said. "We need to give them fair time on the court so they can be productive. Because of that we lose some time with our bigs."

The Pistons beat Milwaukee for the 10th time in 13 meetings since the 2005-06 season.

Wallace had 16 points and 12 rebounds, and Stuckey added 16 points for Detroit, which has won three straight and six of eight.

"It's a bit discouraging to lose at home, but we've had one bad game out of the last six or seven home games," Bogut said. "That's no excuse."

The Pistons missed their first five shots of the second half and Luke Ridnour's jumper gave Milwaukee its last lead, 48-46, with 10:35 left in the quarter.

Stuckey then tipped in his own missed layup to tie the score at 48, starting a 27-5 run in which Detroit made 11 of 15 shots to take a 73-53 lead on Prince's free throw with 19 seconds left in the period.

Prince had nine points, four rebounds, two assists and a steal in the third.

Milwaukee was so out of sync that Skiles went with a lineup of Malik Allen, Joe Alexander, Tyronn Lue, Dan Gadzuric and Ridnour with 3:40 left in the third quarter, leaving most of the starters on the bench the rest of the way.

Game notes
Milwaukee G Damon Jones joined the team. Jones was obtained in an offseason trade, but he hasn't played for the Bucks by mutual agreement as they worked with his agent in an attempt to work out another trade. When a deal never materialized, Jones reported to the team Saturday night and was inactive
