76ers clinch NBA playoff berth with win over Bucks
Allen Iverson scored 39 points, 12 assists and seven rebounds as the Philadelphia 76ers cruised to a 122-106 victory over Milwaukee to clinch their sixth National Basketball Association playoff berth in seven seasons.
In this one, the NBA's leading scorer needed just 3:11 to score 10 points and had 16 after one quarter to help the Sixers to a 36-29 lead. Iverson added another 10 points in the second quarter to push Philadelphia's advantage to 70-50 at the break.
Kyle Korver added 19 points and Chris Webber 18 for the Sixers (42-39), who had a five-year playoff streak end last season.
Philadelphia - which shot 54 percent (48-of-89) - is in seventh place in the Eastern Conference, 1 1/2 games ahead of New Jersey and slumping Cleveland. The Nets and Cavaliers were idle on Monday.
Dan Gadzuric collected 21 points and a career-high 20 rebounds for the Bucks, who once again were without leading scorer Michael Redd. Desmond Mason added 22 points.
