On "Tattoo Night" at the
Pyramid, the man with the most ink in the building left an
indelible mark on the Memphis Grizzlies.

Allen Iverson scored 33 points and led a fourth-quarter surge as
the Philadelphia 76ers averted an embarrassing loss with a
95-88 victory over the winless Grizzlies.

Any fan with a tattoo coming to Wednesday's contest had a chance
to win tickets to a future game. The promotion was tied to
Iverson, the three-time NBA scoring champion whose collection of
body art grows with each new season and covers nearly all of
his slender body.

But tattoos are a symbol of toughness, and Iverson is among the
toughest players in the league. After taking a whack on the
right thumb he badly sprained less than two weeks ago, he scored
17 of Philadelphia's last 26 points.

"I was just trying to take what the defense gave me," Iverson
said. "I didn't want to be overaggressive. I just wanted to
let my teammates do what they had to do early in the game
because they (Grizzlies) were taking away some of the shots I
wanted by zoning up. My teammates held the fort, and then when
I got an opportunity, I just tried to make the best of it."

Iverson made 10-of-24 shots, including 4-of-7 3-pointers. He
added six assists and three steals and confounded the Grizzlies
with his quickness.

The 76ers never trailed over the last three quarters but played
fast and loose with the lead until Iverson took charge in the
fourth quarter, when he scored 11 points.

"Allen got it going and fortunately made some shots against
their zone and we were able to build a lead," Sixers coach Larry
Brown said.

"I thought Iverson had a rifle instead of his hand," Grizzlies
coach Hubie Brown said. "He was spectacular."

Todd MacCulloch had 15 points and 13 rebounds for the Sixers,
who had all five starters score in double figures and moved back
into a first-place tie in the Atlantic Division.

The Grizzlies fell to 0-12, the worst start since the 1997-98
Denver Nuggets lost their first dozen games en route to an 11-71
campaign. The record is 17, set by the 1988 Miami Heat and
matched by the 1999 Los Angeles Clippers.

"You don't underestimate anybody," Iverson said. "When you're
playing a team that's 0-11, you play them the same way you play
a team that's 11-0. That's what keeps you consistent."

Rookie Drew Gooden scored 21 points and Stromile Swift added 12,
a career-high 16 rebounds and a franchise-record eight blocks
for Memphis, which has lost all four games under Hubie Brown.

"We did a lot of good things, but we are not happy," Hubie Brown
said. "We are not happy with the choppiness. We couldn't get
a streak. When players were open, they didn't knock the shots
down."

Iverson was hit on his thumb by Kings guard Jason Williams, who
later left with a sprained foot. Upon his return, Iverson
missed two free throws but followed with consecutive 3-pointers
before Aaron McKie hit a jumper, giving Philadelphia a 75-63
lead entering the final period.

"Coach said, `Well, if you got hit on your thumb, maybe your
shot will start falling down,'" Iverson said. "Fortunately, it
did. I hit those two shots, and we kind of got the momentum
going into the fourth quarter."

"It's always big when you've got somebody making threes and
you're on a run," teammate Eric Snow said.

The Grizzlies pecked away and got within 77-70 on a 3-pointer by
Wesley Person with 9:23 to play, but Iverson answered with a
jumper. A layup by Earl Watson made it 81-74, but Snow drove
for a hoop and Iverson made a leaning 3-pointer that beat the
shot clock and built the lead to 86-74 with six minutes to go.

Iverson had a streaking reverse layup and fed Snow for a layup
and a 92-80 bulge with 2:56 left.

Snow scored 14 points, McKie added 12 and Keith Van Horn 10 for
the Sixers, who shot 44 percent (35-of-80). Reserve Brian
Skinner had 10 rebounds.

Pau Gasol scored 14 points for the Grizzlies, who shot under 40
percent (33-of-84). They did have 15 blocks.

The Sixers took the lead for good at 26-24 on Skinner's steal
and layup late in the first quarter. Iverson scored six points
in a 13-4 run that widened the advantage to 39-28 with 7:32 left
in the second period.

Philadelphia held a 54-46 halftime lead as Iverson scored 16
points.

Playing in just his second game with the Denver Nuggets, Steve Blake showed the Portland Trail Blazers what they've been missing.


Blake, traded to Milwaukee in the offseason and acquired by Denver from the Bucks last week, had a career-high 25 points against his former team Sunday night, in Denver's 109-93 victory over Portland.

"I'm not surprised because a good basketball player is a good basketball player and that's what he is," said Blake's new teammate, Allen Iverson.

Iverson had 32 points and nine assists for the Nuggets, who trailed at halftime but outscored the Blazers 41-17 in the third quarter.

The victory snapped a two-game losing streak for Denver, coming off a 90-86 loss Friday to the Houston Rockets.

Blake was acquired by Denver on Thursday in a trade that sent Earl Boykins to Milwaukee. He started in the backcourt for Portland last season with Juan Dixon.

"It's better than good," Blake said about his new home. "It's been a lot of fun. We're playing the style I like to play. Coach is letting me get the ball and push it. And with the players we have on this team, you can't help but be successful."

The Blazers, coming off a victory over the Sacramento Kings 95-87 on Friday, have lost eight of their last 10.

Rookie Sergio Rodriguez scored a career-high 23 points and had 10 assists for Portland.

The Blazers' starters were largely ineffective, contributing just 20 points. Center Joel Przybilla and point guard Dan Dickau combined to play 23 minutes and did not score.

"The first unit just couldn't get it going," Portland coach Nate McMillan said. "Not only did they have a difficult time offensively in the third quarter -- but in giving up 41 points it looks like they didn't defend anyone."

The Nuggets at times triple-teamed Portland forward Zach Randolph, who scored four points on 1-of-12 shooting. Randolph was averaging 23.9 points and 10.1 rebounds going into the game.

Randolph said he gets triple-teamed "all the time." That wasn't his problem.

"I couldn't hit a shot," he said. "The ball wouldn't go in. It was one of the nights."

Portland guard Jarrett Jack, who was in a car accident on Friday, remained out with a concussion. Dickau made his second start in Jack's place.

Iverson scored eight straight points in the first quarter to put Denver up 21-13. The Nuggets led by as many as 12 points early but the Blazers closed the gap, and took a 36-35 lead on Dixon's jumper.

Rodriguez hit a pull-up jumper and a layup to give the Blazers a 51-43 lead. Portland outscored the Nuggets 37-18 in the second quarter and led 56-49 at the half.

The Nuggets opened the second half on an 18-0 run to take a 67-56 lead they would never relinquish. Iverson's bank shot at 10:19 pulled the Nuggets into a 56-56 tie. Blake capped the run with his fifth 3-pointer.

The Blazers' first points of the second half came at 6:54 on a Raef LaFrentz free throw.

Blake surpassed his career high of 23 set while he was a Blazer against Houston last March 5.

"We stepped up defense in the third quarter and turned good defense into good offense," Blake said. "We were pushing it and making shots. We were clicking as a team." Carmelo Anthony, Denver's leading scorer, was still serving a 15-game suspension because of the brawl against the New York Knicks on Dec. 16. Anthony returns Jan. 22 against Memphis.

Game notes
The Blazers' 37 second-quarter points were a season high. ... Denver's 41 third-quarter points were the team's season-high, too. ... Denver has won eight straight games against the Blazers, and 12 of the last 13.

Although not the prolific scorer he was in his earlier years with the Philadelphia 76ers, Allen Iverson is still a difference maker.


The 34-year-old Iverson showed he still can score, getting 11 of his 20 points in the third quarter. And his presence alone was a factor as the 76ers pulled away in the final period for a 116-106 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night.

Lou Williams scored 22 points and Andre Iguodala had 19 points, nine assists and seven rebounds for the 76ers. Both Williams and Iguodala scored 10 points in the fourth quarter, when the 76ers stretched the lead to double digits. Iguodala said part of the credit belongs to Iverson.

"He has helped us out a lot, he really opens the floor for everybody when he's out there," Iguodala said. "He still draws a lot of attention and teams can't key on myself or anyone else."

Iverson is not happy about being limited to 28-30 minutes a game, which are recommended by the team's medical staff to come in shorter increments due to his arthritic right knee. He missed four recent games with a sore knee, but played 32 minutes against the Kings in his second game back, making 6-of-14 shots and adding five rebounds, three assists and three steals.

"All my life I've been watching him play and to have the opportunity to play him was fun," said Kings guard Sergio Rodriguez, who was matched up against Iverson at times. "He showed that he can still play and he can play well. He looked great."

Iverson was at his best in the third quarter, when the 76ers took the lead for good and went into the fourth ahead 79-76. He had 11 points, scoring on a variety of shots, including a 3-pointer that put Philadelphia in front 72-70.

"It's important for me to do whatever I can to help the guys and give them confidence that we can win games," Iverson said. "I was telling them when we were down 13 in the first quarter to stay with it, and make them believe we could come back." Even with Iverson on the bench for less than five minutes in the fourth quarter, that confidence was evident. The 76ers spread the court, moved the ball effectively, and repeatedly made perimeter shots when they built the lead to double digits in putting together back-to-back wins for the first time since Oct. 30-31.

Rodney Carney and Elton Brand scored 14 points apiece for the 76ers. who connected on 9-of-16 3-pointers.

"Allen gives us another dimension, guys are really playing off him," 76ers coach Eddie Jordan said. "Lou Williams got it going, and Carney came off the bench and did a great job. All our guys played well in their roles."

Donte Greene and Omri Casspi each scored 21 points for the Kings, who have lost three of their last four home games. But unlike the previous losses, overtime affairs to Cleveland the Lakers, this loss came against a team that entered the game with only eight wins. Jason Thompson had 15 points and 11 rebounds, and Rodriguez also scored 15 points.

"We were ripe to be picked off tonight and we need to learn that we are not as good as people say we are," said Kings coach Paul Westphal, whose team defeated Denver on Monday. "Sometimes you have to not only bounce back from tough losses but you have to bounce back from big wins."

The Kings played their second straight game without rookie guard Tyreke Evans, who is nursing a sore ankle and is day to day. Beno Udrih played a rare poor game in his place, shooting 3 of 11, scoring nine points, and committing three turnovers.

"Tyreke is a big piece of our team and he's been showing that the whole year," Udrih said. "But we can't feel sorry for ourselves. Injuries are a part of the game and you deal with it."

Carney opened the fourth quarter with a pair of 3-pointers, and a jumper by Williams gave the 76ers a 90-81 advantage with 9:40 remaining. With the Kings missing open looks throughout the period, the 76ers' lead grew to 107-95 when Iguodala made a follow shot with 3:34 left.

The Kings squandered an 11-point lead after one quarter and were outscored 33-22 in the second. The aggressive inside play of Brand, who scored 11 points, helped fuel the 76ers' comeback. Casspi had 11 points for the Kings.

Game notes
In the offseason, Jordan was an early candidate for the Kings head coaching job, but took the offer from Philadelphia instead of waiting for the Kings to end their search, which resulted in the hiring of Westphal. ... Carney scored 12 points in his first 10 minutes off the bench, all of them coming via four 3-pointers. ... Iverson entered the game 1 for 3 this season in 3-point attempts, but made both attempts against the Kings.
