Allen Iverson was trying to stay with his
man on defense when he slammed full-force into Rasheed Wallace and
went sprawling to the floor.

Picking himself up and shaking off the aftershocks, Iverson came
downcourt on Philadelphia's next possession and used a quick
dribble and deft stutter-step to drive the lane and draw two
defenders, leaving Andre Iguodala open at the 3-point line.

Iverson flicked him a pass and Iguodala's shot went in, giving
Iverson another of his 15 assists and putting the Sixers ahead by
double digits midway through the fourth quarter of a 115-104
victory over the Detroit Pistons on Friday night.

"A.I. was phenomenal," said Pistons coach Larry Brown, who was
apprehensive beforehand at the prospect of Iverson having a
breakout game.

Turns out he had good reason to worry.

Iverson played one of the better playoff games of his nine-year
career, scoring 37 points and handing out five of his 15 assists in
the fourth quarter as the Sixers defeated the defending champions
for the first time in their best-of-seven series, cutting Detroit's
lead to 2-1. Game 4 is Sunday.

Iverson led the way as Philadelphia overcame an early 13-point
deficit and then played its best ball in the fourth quarter.

Detroit center Ben Wallace scored a career-high 29 points and
grabbed 16 rebounds, but the Pistons got only two points from their
reserves on a night when they had another 50-percent shooting
effort from the field -- the third time in the series they've made
at least half their shots.

Despite that accuracy, the Pistons couldn't find a way to stop
Iverson after holding him to 35-percent shooting in the first two
games. He finished 15-for-26 from the field, including 2-for-4 from
3-point range, and his assists were one shy of his career-best.

"The same shots he took in Detroit and missed were the same
shots he made tonight," Detroit's Richard Hamilton said. "Every
game Allen comes out he plays with that demeanor. Since I've been
in the league I've never played against him when he's said 'I'm
just going to show up."

Chauncey Billups started as the primary defender on Iverson, and
Hamilton took over the job later in the game. But even when the
Pistons managed to get the ball out of Iverson's hands, he was able
to find open teammates who were able to knock down shots.

Chris Webber scored nine of his 19 points in the fourth quarter,
Rodney Rogers added 15 points, Samuel Dalembert had 14 points and
10 rebounds and Iguodala had 13 points and seven steals for
Philadelphia, which shot 55 percent.

Before the game, Brown said his inside knowledge of Iverson's
tendencies from their many seasons together were of no benefit.

"From a personal standpoint, when you know what someone like
that is capable of, it's not a comfortable feeling," Brown said.
"We all know what he does, and I haven't seen anybody stop him.
The reason we've been successful is we've stopped other people."

Iverson's 15th assist came on a pass to Webber for a jumper that
gave Philadelphia a 105-96 lead with 3:04 left, and Iverson sank a
3-pointer with 1:33 remaining to lock up the victory.

The game was Brown's first postseason appearance in the building
where he coached Iverson for six seasons and took the Sixers to the
NBA Finals in 2001 -- the year Iverson won the MVP award.

"That doesn't seem like a long time ago. Most of those games I
really remember, and he had a remarkable year, but I still think
this is his best one."

No game was more critical to Philadelphia than this one, and
Iverson would not let the 76ers fall into a 3-0 deficit no NBA team
has ever overcome. His 37 points eclipsed his career postseason
average of 30.4, second in NBA history behind Michael Jordan's
33.4.

"This is one game. We've got to feed off it," Iverson said.
"We didn't just play defense, we played offense, too."

One NBA player lords over LeBron James.


Carmelo Anthony rules Cleveland's hoops King.

"I know he hates losing to me," Anthony said with a laugh.

Anthony scored 27 points, All-Star sidekick Allen Iverson added 25 and the Denver Nuggets rolled to a 113-83 win Sunday night over the injury-depleted Cavaliers.

Anthony, who got to rest in the fourth quarter, improved to 8-2 in his pro career against good friend James, who scored 30 points -- in three quarters -- but got little help from a Cleveland team missing four key players, including two starters.

Though shorthanded, the Cavs have been able to get by playing good defense and came in 16-5 since Dec. 25. But from the opening tip on they didn't do nearly enough to slow the Nuggets, who handed Cleveland its worst home loss since April 5, 2005.

Denver led by 11 points after one quarter, 18 at halftime and pushed its advantage to 26 by the end of the third. At the end of that period, James stormed off the court, took a seat at the far end of Cleveland's bench and didn't take part in coach Mike Brown's huddle before the fourth quarter began.

"It was definitely frustrating," James said. "We know we can play better. It was one game. That's something we can fix."

As a displeased James sat alone on the bench and stared straight ahead, Cavaliers guard Damon Jones let his teammates know that their performance was unacceptable by yelling at all of them.

"I just think something had to be said at that point," Jones said. "No big thing."

Although he was looking in James' direction, Jones said his comments were intended for everyone wearing white jerseys.

"In those situations you have to band together as a team. I wasn't singling anybody out," Jones said. "Everybody, including myself, we have to find ways to fight through situations like that."

James didn't play in the fourth quarter when the Cavs fell behind by 37 and played all their reserves.

Anthony, coming off a 49-point performance in a win against Washington, went 11-of-19 from the floor and added eight rebounds in 32 minutes. He, too, spent the fourth quarter on the sideline, savoring Denver's fifth straight win over Cleveland.

"It was one of the most complete games we've had," Anthony said. "We didn't come in here expecting a blowout, but that's what happened."

Iverson added 13 assists and Marcus Camby 17 rebounds for Denver, which shot 63 percent in the first quarter.

"We jumped on them from the beginning," Iverson said. "We took advantage of the shots they were missing. We were able to do everything right on both ends of the floor."

The Cavaliers were again a shell of themselves as injuries continued to plague the Eastern Conference champions.

Drew Gooden missed his third game in a row with a strained right groin and Daniel Gibson, the team's top long-range shooter, sat out his second straight because of a strained hamstring. On top of that, Cleveland didn't have forward Anderson Varejao (sprained ankle) or swingman Sasha Pavlovic (sprained foot).

Also, Jones went to the locker room in the fourth quarter with a sprained ankle and center Zydrunas Ilgauskas was also forced to spend the final 12 minutes getting treatment for back spasms.

The Cavs, however, were hurting long before that.

Denver led 63-45 at halftime and quickly upped its lead to 23 after Iverson opened the third quarter with a 3-pointer and Kenyon Martin scored inside. James helped trim Denver's lead to 15, but Iverson and Anthony never relaxed and the Nuggets pushed their lead to 90-64 entering the fourth.

The Nuggets beat the Cavs 122-100 earlier this season.

"It's disappointing they whooped our behinds twice like this," Cavs coach Mike Brown said. "I don't think we can look in the mirror and say we fought tonight."

Denver coach George Karl took his team's lopsided win in stride, knowing the Cavaliers weren't at full strength.

"They're so banged up and beat up," he said. "They couldn't make a shot and we had an easier game because we did some good things. It was one of those games where can go home and say we played, but they were shorthanded too."

Game notes
James was pleased Anthony was named a starter for next weekend's All-Star Game, the first time Denver's forward has gotten the nod. "People realize he's one of the best players in our league, definitely one of the best scorers," James said. "It took five years to finally get the opportunity." ... Nuggets big man Steven Hunter missed his second straight game with a sore right knee. ... Gibson's injury could keep him out of next weekend's All-Star activities in New Orleans. He's scheduled to play in the rookie-sophomore challenge and 3-point shootout. ... Pavlovic, who could miss two months, is scheduled to have a cast removed in the next few days. "Finally," he said. "I'm sick of it."

"This is one game. We've got to feed off it," Iverson said. "We didn't just play defense, we played offense, too."

Hamilton scored 24, Tayshaun Prince had 19 and Rasheed Wallace and Billups each scored 15 for Detroit.

Philadelphia fell behind by 13 points early in the second quarter, but Detroit's offense struggled when the starters were not on the floor, and Iverson had 17 points and six assists by halftime as the Sixers cut their deficit to 54-51.

The Pistons stayed ahead until Rogers hit a corner jumper with 3:41 left in the third quarter for a 72-72 tie, and Rogers added a pair of 3-pointers in the final minute of the quarter to help Philadelphia take an 80-78 lead into the fourth. The 76ers stayed ahead the rest of the way.

Game notes
Wallace's previous career-high was 22 points against New Orleans on Dec. 4. His previous career-high in the playoffs was 20. ... Sixers coach Jim O'Brien gave an expanded role to Willie Green, who often played in the regular season only when Iverson was hurt. Green, who totaled 9 minutes in the first two games combined, played 19 minutes and scored two points. ... Kyle Korver, who made only two of 11 3-point shots in the first two games, was 3-for-4 from long distance.
