The Wizards got 10 points and 10 rebounds from Kwame Brown, but was bested by Brad Miller's 12 points and 10 rebounds of his own. Steve Blake chipped in 17 in 34 minutes. The Sacramento win came just one day after an emotional two-point victory in Philadelphia versus former King Chris Webber.

With only a few seconds remaining, Allen Iverson found himself on the foul line for one last shot and the Sixers trailing by two. The only option was the old “miss it on purpose and hope my teammates can come up with the rebound” play. Iverson couldn’t have missed it any better. The ball rolled off the rim and landed comfortably in Webber’s outstretched hands. But the buzzer sounded after his rushed putback attempt landed just inches short of sending the game into overtime. Webber’s first game as a member of the Sixers had its fair share of highlights. Unfortunately, for Sixers fans, the biggest one of them all came courtesy of Cuttino Mobley and his go-ahead trey in the fourth. On the night when Kenny Thomas, Corliss Williamson and Brian Skinner made their strange homecoming to Philadelphia - the city that they never really got to leave yet - after being traded for Chris Webber, it was the homegrown Philly product Mobley who stole the show with a special homecoming of his own. Mobley finished as one of six Kings to score in double figures with 17 points. Philadelphia 76ers, Sacramento Kings Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Kings Feb 2005 Archive
