December 22nd, 2006 Nuggets Lose to Sac-Town in Iverson Debut

Allen Iverson

On Friday night, the Denver Nuggets officially began the Allen Iverson era. Iverson made his Nuggets debut, but the Nuggets fell short in a 5 point loss to Sacramento at home (101-96). Allen Iverson did not start the game, but he came off the bench to play 39 minutes, and he really produced. He shot 9 of 15, went for 22 points, and dished 10 assists. The fans were really 100% alive throughout the entire game, and even though it was a loss, it was a very exciting night for Nuggets fans.

Earl Boykins got the start at point guard tonight, and he played a very effective game. He went for 25 points and he dished 9 assists of his own, while Nene did the dirty work, gobbling up 15 rebounds. Reggie Evans also came off the bench and shelled out a double-double (10 points, 11 rebounds), while DerMarr Johnson scored double figures as well.

It’s unfortunate that Denver lost the game, but there is no question that more wins are to come, especially when the team is healthy and through with the suspensions.

Player of the Game: Allen Iverson
