Allen Iverson and the Denver Nuggets need to win all the games they can in order to make the NBA playoffs. They’re in a battle with the Golden State Warriors for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western conference, and time is running out. Heading into their game against the Seattle SuperSonics last night, they had beaten the Sonics in all three meetings, the last of which being the 168-116 blowout less than a month ago. This time, however, Jeff Green didn’t want to go down without a fight.

Green had a career night, scoring 35 points on 14-21 shooting and pulling down 10 rebounds, as the Sonics managed to topple the Nuggets in double overtime. He scored the five points of the second extra session, helping the Sonics pull away down the stretch.

It’s bad news for the Nuggets as they desperately need wins now, particularly in their upcoming match at Golden State. While Hoya fans couldn’t be happier with Jeff Green’s performance last night, they have to be a little worried about Denver’s postseason hopes. Let’s see if Allen can’t pull out a couple key victories down the stretch to earn a chance for that elusive championship ring.
