Allen Iverson 40 point games | #34 | 41pts vs Miami Heat [2001-04-10]

Alonzo Mourning had his best game. Allen Iverson had another 40-point game. But Tim Hardaway had the shot of the game. Hardaway's leaning 22-footer over Eric Snow with 5.6 seconds to play gave the Miami Heat an 83-81 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, who wasted 41 points from Iverson. In a game featuring playoff-like intensity, the 76ers pulled into the sixth and final tie of the fourth quarter when Dikembe Mutombo rebounded a miss by Snow and threw in a hook shot as he was fouled with 17 seconds to go. But Mutombo missed the free throw, leaving the score 81-81. Hardaway, who had his dribble poked away from him by Snow in the final seconds of a loss on November 4, dribbled to the left of the arc and stepped on the circle as he leaned forward. Snow had a hand in his face, but Hardaway made the shot. "The shot was a little quick but we probably wouldn't have gotten a better shot than that," Hardaway said. "He made a good shot," Snow said. "He's made so many in his time. He kind of pushed off and made a great shot with a hand in his face." The Sixers could not inbound to Iverson, who made 14-of-28 shots in his 17th 40-point game of the season. Instead, Snow passed to Aaron McKie, who passed to Jumaine Jones and took a return handoff before coming up short on a 3-pointer from the left sideline. "The way Iverson was playing I would have liked to get him the ball," Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "They did a good job of keeping the ball out of his hands but we got a pretty good look." Mourning played his best game since his return from a kidney ailment two weeks ago. Perhaps motivated by playing against fellow Georgetown alumnus Mutombo, Mourning had season highs of 20 points and 16 rebounds in 26 minutes and was on the floor down the stretch. "I don't care how many minutes I play as long as we get the `W,'" Mourning said. "I know we have a huge window of opportunity to get to that championship level. If we just stay the course, the sky is the limit." "Adrenaline had a lot to do with it," said Iverson, another Georgetown alumnus. "He hadn't been playing as well as he did tonight but Alonzo is a special basketball player. He's an All-Star in every sense of the word." It was a big win for the Heat (47-30), who blew an 11-point lead and had to rally in the fourth quarter. They moved one game in front of New York in the race for the third seed in the Eastern Conference -- and the chance to avoid Philadelphia, the East's top team, until the conference finals. "Tonight had a playoff feel to it," Riley said. "It wasn't a playoff game. I know that feeling already," Iverson said. "To me, this wasn't a playoff atmosphere. The way they were jumping around at the end of the game showed me that they really wanted this game."

Goals – or rather, the scarcity of them –remained the central ailment for both Crystal Palace and Burnley.  Palace finally appeared luminous, a display of exceptional style lighting up the home fans with assertion and craft, not missing an important opportunity to grab a precious first home league victory of the season. It is, after all, December. Leicester City’s James Maddison sinks Watford with sublime volley Read more  Considering its overall importance in the struggle to wriggle away from the drop zone, this could prove to be the Eagles’ season-defining moment. Having missed the chance to claim three points at Manchester United in their last, scoreless, encounter, they were confronted with an entirely different and vibrant proposition.  Andros Townsend’s quality second goal, after James McArthur’s slightly fortuitous first-half opener, was reward for the Palace manager, Roy Hodgson. On another slant Wilfried Zaha appeared at times to be on a solo quest in a duel against Burnley’s keeper Joe Hart, whose fine form prevented a mauling.  “It’s been a long time coming and I’m equally pleased with the performance,” said Hodgson. “We haven’t been lucky at home. Results have been there in the shadow and they have eluded us but today it didn’t. It would be a curmudgeonly person to deny Palace [credit] today. It’s not often you have 30 attempts on goal.  “This is one we needed to win but we got the points because we were better from start to finish.”  Now in the bottom three, Burnley, meanwhile, were bereft of everything needed for survival and failed to register a single shot on target. Their manager Sean Dyche’s team are a dismal shadow of last season’s seventh-placed side. From a drizzly south London lens that heady Europa League qualification seems a world away. It looks as if everything has caught up with them, with visits to Tottenham and Arsenal coming up before Christmas.  Dyche refuses to panic. “The fear attached to football is an important factor,” he said. “You need that looseness to act naturally. That was off today and in the second half they deserved it.  “The whole team performance is something to think about and when fear comes into performances you soften.  “I don’t stare at the league table. We have to get back to a consistent level of performances. Today we slipped back again and need to find that consistency and performance. I knew in the summer this would be a real tough season.  “I think I’ve been really loyal to players but we’ve been disrupted by injuries and it affects our growth as a team. We have to continually remodel and rethink.”  After a zippy start, in which Max Meyer and Zaha were creatively prominent, Palace scored with 16 min
