76ers spoil Iverson’s return to Philadelphia
- Share via
PHILADELPHIA -- Allen Iverson had the ball in his hands and the game on the line, yet couldn’t produce the ending he’d hoped for.
Iverson, playing in Philadelphia for the first time since being traded to Denver in December 2006, was introduced to a raucous and lengthy applause before leading all scorers with 32 points Wednesday night in front of a sellout crowd.
But he misfired on a 20-foot jumper and Marcus Camby missed a putback in the final seconds as the 76ers spoiled their former most valuable player’s return with a 115-113 victory over the Nuggets and reaching .500 at 34-34.
“I almost had a perfect trip at my home away from home,” Iverson said.
Andre Miller, acquired by the 76ers in the Iverson trade, scored 28 points.
