Kings 100, 76ers 89
Nov. 1, 2003
SportsLine.com wire reports
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Even with a healthy shoulder and a full complement
of teammates, Allen Iverson wouldn't have liked the Philadelphia 76ers'
chances in Sacramento.
Peja Stojakovic scored 28 points, and Bobby Jackson had 18 as the
Sacramento Kings beat the 76ers for the sixth straight time, 100-89
Friday night.
Iverson had 27 points and seven assists after straining his shoulder
during practice Thursday. Though he wasn't announced in the starting
lineup until shortly before game time, the three-time NBA scoring
champion played 46 minutes -- and was jeered for nearly every second,
particularly after his five airballs.
"Sacramento is the hardest place to play," Iverson said. "The crowd
gets on the refs, gets into the game, and it's just crazy. You get
kind of frustrated, but it's part of the game. They were just better
than us."
Iverson went 10-of-23 and made six turnovers as Philadelphia struggled
to shoot consistently in the opener of a three-game West Coast road
trip. The Sixers were short-handed even before Iverson's injury: Glenn
Robinson missed the second game of a three-game suspension for his
conviction on charges of domestic assault and battery.
Mike Bibby had 16 points and five assists for the Kings, who maintained
a healthy lead throughout the second half of their 19th straight home
victory against Eastern Conference teams. Sacramento beat Cleveland in
its season opener Wednesday night.
"Philadelphia is a scrappy team, and with Allen on the court, they just
keep coming," Kings coach Rick Adelman said. "We could never separate
from them. I was proud of the guys for sticking with it and keeping that
lead."
Stojakovic had his second straight big game as the Kings' first option
on offense in the absence of Chris Webber, who's out until December
while recovering from offseason knee surgery.
Stojakovic scored 10 points in the third quarter -- and after Philadelphia
pulled within eight points in the final minute, Stojakovic hit a clinching
3-pointer with 18 seconds left.
Jackson also had another big game, hitting three 3-pointers -- including
a long one to end the first quarter in dramatic fashion. Jackson often
guarded Iverson, and the matchup of two of the NBA's mightiest mites was
the most entertaining part of the game.
"He's one of the best there is, but we had too much for them," Jackson
said. "It's always great to go up against the best in the business. We
both got our shots in there, and I think he got me a couple of times,
but I'll take the win."
Kenny Thomas had 19 points for Philadelphia, which lost for the first
time under new coach Randy Ayers.
Iverson seemed more frustrated with his teammates' lack of movement than
his sore shoulder. After throwing up a last-ditch airball in the third
quarter, Iverson shrugged angrily toward his bench at Ayers, who spent
the past six seasons as Larry Brown's assistant.
"Any game without (Robinson) is going to be tough, because that's the
scoring punch that we always needed, always wanted," Iverson said. "By
the same token, it's good ... because it makes other guys step up."
John Salmons struggled in Robinson's spot in the starting lineup,
going 2-of-8 from the field. After Stojakovic burned Salmons for
several baskets in the first half, the Sixers used a variety of
alternate defenses against the two-time All-Star.
Brad Miller had 11 points and nine rebounds for the Kings, and Darius
Songaila had eight points as an effective substitute in his second NBA
game.
Notes：
Iverson, who's barely 6 feet, threw down a one-handed dunk with 2:42
to play.
Hundreds of fans wore costumes, and the Kings showed video of several
players in Halloween garb on the scoreboard. Bibby got the biggest
laughs for his Boy Scout uniform.
Stojakovic limped to the bench after turning his left ankle in the
third quarter, but stayed in the game. Stojakovic missed most of the
2001 playoffs with a sprained ankle, and he hurt it again during the
European Championship last summer.

AI帶傷上陣 76人仍無法取勝
孫傳賢 編譯

雖然肩膀受傷的「戰神」Allen Iverson今天(1日)決意帶傷上陣，而且全場23次
出手命中10球，還攻下27分、6籃板、7助攻，但始終無法幫助球隊取得勝利，76
人最後就以89比100敗在國王手上，而Iverson全場還出現6次失誤。
賽後，Iverson說：「任何球隊想在國王的主場拿下勝利，都必須付出極大的代價
。沙加緬度的球迷相當瘋狂，但這就是NBA比賽的一部分。而且，我們自己的進攻
表現也不夠理想。」76人的另一名得分好手「大狗」Glenn Robinson 仍因禁賽處
分而無法上陣。Kenny Thomas攻下全隊第二高的19分，中鋒Derrick Coleman有11
分、10籃板的雙十表現，Eric Snow也有13分、4籃板、5助攻進帳。
國王在第一節結束時，就取得4分的領先優勢。雖然第二節初期，76人逐漸將落後
的比分差距拉進，但國王立即殺出一波14比3的高潮，而且在第三節結束前又有一
波8比3的攻勢，讓76人無力可回天。此役，國王團隊投籃命中率為51.4%，三分球
命中率更有 54.5%；反觀76人的投籃命中率僅四成多，團隊7次三分線出手全部落
空，也因此吞下敗仗。
國王射手Peja Stojakovic三分球投4中3，轟進全場最高的28分。替補後衛 Bobby
Jackson 攻得18分、5籃板、4助攻，當家控衛Mike Bibby有16分、5助攻的表現，
而Brad Miller與Vlade Divac也各貢獻了11分。
