After beating up on some of
the NBA's lightweights, the Philadelphia 76ers wilted down the
stretch against one of its heavyweights.
Bobby Jackson scored half of his 18 points in the fourth quarter
and Chris Webber came alive in the second half as the
Sacramento Kings posted a 107-99 victory over the 76ers, who had
a nine-game winning streak stopped.
It was the first loss since the All-Star break for Philadelphia,
which did much of its damage during its run against teams
looking at the NBA Lottery.
During their streak, the Sixers had a pair of wins over Chicago
and Cleveland, one against Memphis and another at Denver. Those
teams are a combined 116 games under the .500 mark.
On Monday, the Sixers hung tough against the league's third-best
team and held a 95-94 lead with 2:51 remaining following a
basket by Keith Van Horn.
But the Kings took over, outscoring the Sixers 13-4 the rest of
the way. Peja Stojakovic gave the Kings the lead for good at
the 2:36 mark with a jumper and, after a timeout, Doug Christie
had a steal and layup.
After Van Horn's basket, the Sixers had four empty trips in a
row. Eric Snow made an errant pass that Christie turned into
his layup, Snow missed two free throws and Van Horn had
turnovers on the next two possessions.
"I know myself, I had a big turnover and missed a couple of free
throws and that hurt us," Snow said. "They made baskets and
made the stops at the end. I thought we fought so long and had
a great opportunity at the end but that's what happens when you
play a great team like that."
"I think we made some mental mistakes, a couple of turnovers
that allowed them to get easy baskets, and they really got
momentum because of it," said Van Horn, who scored 17 points.
Stojakovic drilled another jumper with 1:19 remaining and Mike
Bibby made two free throws with 49 seconds to go, making it
102-95.
Webber scored 23 of his 29 points in the second half as the
Kings won for the sixth time in their last seven games. He also
added 10 rebounds.
"I really thought we did a nice job of staying with this game,"
Kings coach Rick Adelman said. "They are playing so well, and
Iverson was making shots, but we kept saying, `Don't give them
easy baskets.'" We gave them enough to hang around. In the end
we made some nice plays to open it up."
Vlade Divac also provided problems for the Sixers. The
Yugoslavian center finished with 17 points, 13 rebounds and
seven assists.
Allen Iverson scored 35 points and Snow added 15 and 13 assists
for Philadelphia, which fell 3 1/2 games behind first-place New
Jersey in the Atlantic Division.
"I don't feel good about our loss at all," said Iverson, who
went 13-of-23 from the floor. "I don't care anything about
moral victories. I'm too far along in my career to even care
about moral victories, especially if we have a chance to win the
game."
With Bibby plagued by foul trouble, Jackson was quiet for the
first three quarters before coming alive over the final 12
minutes.
After Webber's jumper provided a 85-83 lead with 7:25 to go,
Jackson converted a spectacular reverse layup and drilled a
3-pointer, giving the Kings a 90-83 lead.
It was still a seven-point game with 4:24 to play following a
hook by Webber, who played aggressively in the second half. The
star forward went 10-of-15 from the floor over the final two
quarters after going just 2-of-6 prior to the break.
"I wanted to be aggressive," Webber said. "We heard the murmurs
and that is kind of why you like to play on the road, 'cause
your supposed to miss on the road, but I just wanted to come out
in the second half and take the same shots and have them go
down."
"They made an effort to get him the ball down low and they
weren't doing that (in the first half)," Van Horn said. "He's
a tough guy to guard down there."
But the Sixers, who were playing for the third time in four
nights, would not go quietly. Iverson scored six straight
points, and Van Horn's basket gave the Sixers their last lead at
95-94.
Iverson and Snow clearly got the better of the backcourt matchup
with Bibby and Christie. The Sixers' duo held a 50-18
advantage in points and had a combined seven steals, including
five by Iverson.
Iverson's 19-footer with 8:46 left in the third quarter helped
the Sixers match their biggest lead at 64-57.

I attended this game, March 3, 2003 while in college at UC Davis. You can see me wearing my white 76ers warmup jacket 4 rows behind the Kings' bench standing and clapping on each AI play. I have the entire game on VHS tape as well. Thank you for posting this clip.
