Iverson gearing up for Bucks

 
12.7.2005

(Basketball News) - The Philadelphia 76ers try and put the brakes on a three- game losing streak this evening when they open a brief two-game homestand against the Milwaukee Bucks at the Wachovia Center.

In two games against the Bucks this season - both losses - Allen Iverson has averaged 40 points, including a season-high 45 back on November 23, while battling the flu. He has also scored at least 30 points in each of his last six games against Milwaukee.

Philadelphia’s latest loss came on Saturday, as they closed out a three-game road trip with a 100-91 setback at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs.

Allen Iverson had 37 points for the Sixers, who dropped their fifth game in six tries. Chris Webber had 11 points and 13 rebounds, and Samuel Dalembert tallied eight points and 11 rebounds.

It was just the second time in eight games this season that Iverson, who leads the NBA with 34.2 points-per-game, has netted at least 30 points and the Sixers lost.

Iverson has gone for over 30 points the last six games, while Webber has recorded 10 double-doubles on the year. Eight of Webber’s double-doubles have come in the last 10 games.

Both Dalembert (quadriceps) and Webber (Achilles’) are questionable for tonight’s affair.

The Sixers, who will close their stand against Charlotte on Friday, are 6-3 in their building this season.

Philly has won six of the last 10 meetings. The Bucks have also struggled in the City of Brotherly Love, where they have dropped five of eight and six of 10.
