Three Is A Charm

Jet, May 21, 2001

* THREE IS A CHARM: Philadelphia 76ers' No. 3 Allen Iverson celebrates with his 3-year-old son, Deuce, after the 76ers won its third-straight game against the Indiana Pacers to advance from the first-round of Eastern Conference playoff series (3-1) in Indianapolis. Iverson, the NBA's scoring leader, had 33 points.

Philadelphia lost to Indiana in the playoffs for the past two years, so the third time's the charm. "I'm exhausted physically and mentally," the 25-year-old shooting guard said. "We could never get past these guys (in the playoffs)." After the post-game hug from Pacers' Reggie Miller, Iverson broke down with "tears of joy."
