Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson and guard Ray Allen of the Seattle
SuperSonics have been selected the NBA Eastern and Western Conference Players of
the Week, respectively, for games played between March 21-27.
Iverson was the driving force behind
three Sixers' victories in three games, as the All-Star averaged 31.7 points,
10.7 assists, 3.3 steals and 2.3 rebounds. Iverson racked up 39 points, 10
assists and five steals in Philadelphia's 107-84 win over Detroit on March 23,

103-101 triumph over the Raptors.
Allen helped Seattle to a 3-1 record and averaged 28.7 points, 8.3 rebounds
and 1.3 assists. The veteran guard poured in 40 points and pulled down nine
boards to lead the Sonics to an overtime victory over New York on March 25 and
compiled 27 points and eight rebounds in a one-point loss to Washington on
Sunday.
