Allen Iverson, the Man Without a Team, Scores 51, But the Nuggets Lose to the Lakers 111-107
The Nuggets were out foxed by Phil Jackson, Kobe Bryant, and the other Lakers in the 4th quarter, for the second time in a week, and lost at home 111-107, despite 51 points by Allen Iverson, and I can't believe I just had to write that because it's like a Greek tragedy and I can not stand Greek tragedies because I don't understand how the people in them can be so stupid. One of your players scores 51 points at home and you didn't have a way to win. Are you both crazy and stupid, just crazy, or just stupid? Iverson made 14 of 21 jump shots, mostly midrange and from the left side. Iverson's 51 points are the most by a Nuggets player since Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf had 51 at Utah on Dec. 7, 1995. The Nuggets' franchise record for points in a game is held by David Thompson, who had 73 against Detroit on April 9, 1978.
That's the first paragraph, there is much more at the link. A quick check of the player rankings gives those in a hurry a quick summary of how well each player on each team played. 6 Comments On: "Allen Iverson, the Man Without a Team, Scores 51, But the Nuggets Lose to the Lakers 111-107"
