76ers Tie Club Record on the Road
With help from his friends, Allen Iverson provided the Philadelphia 76ers something they haven’t had since the days of Julius Erving: an 11-game winning streak on the road.
Iverson scored 30 points and Toni Kukoc a season-high 25, including two key three-point baskets, as the 76ers tied a team record for consecutive road victories Tuesday night with a 114-98 rout of the Dallas Mavericks.
The best part for the 76ers was that Iverson didn’t have to do it all himself. Coach Larry Brown scolded the team after its last game, a 110-106 overtime loss to the Toronto Raptors, because players deferred too much to their all-star guard.
This time, five other players scored in double figures as Philadelphia made 54% of its shots.
“It’s always great when you get a good contribution,” Iverson said.
The 76ers also won 11 in a row on the road from Oct. 15-Nov. 26, 1980, with a team led by Erving.
