DENVER — Allen Iverson took plenty of shots at his former team, before, during and after the game. It didn’t add up to a win, though.

Kyle Korver scored 26 points to help the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Denver Nuggets 108-97 on Tuesday night in Iverson’s first game against his former team.

“It was weird to see him wearing a white jersey and we’re wearing black,” Korver said. “I said to one of our coaches that it is so weird to see him on the other side. It wasn’t really a good feeling at all. He’s a great player, and he meant a lot to Philadelphia.”

Iverson scored 30 points on 10-of-24 shooting before getting tossed for his second technical with 1:44 remaining. Afterward, he said the loss disappointed him because he feels the Nuggets are the better team.

“I thought he was a little excited with the turnovers early in the first half and then not being able to make shots, not only he but everybody,” Nuggets coach George Karl said. “That got Philadelphia their legs, their confidence.”

Rookie Yakhouba Diawara was the only bright spot for Denver, scoring a season-best 23 points on the heels of an 0-for-11 shooting performance against Dallas.
