PHILADELPHIA – Allen Iverson spoiled Larry Brown’s return to Philadelphia, scoring 30 points in the 76ers’ 90-86 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night.

The boos began for Brown when the former Philadelphia coach walked out during pregame warmups and reached a crescendo when he was introduced. Brown was serenaded with chants of “traitor” and “fraud” and fans yelled a derisive chant throughout the game. Signs derided Brown, including one with his face on a turkey that read, “Yo Larry, Stuff It.”

Brown did not react to the insults, sitting hunched over with his elbows on his knees and his chin resting on his clasped hands.

While the sellout crowd of 20,512 fans turned on him, his former players only offered hugs and handshakes.

Derrick Coleman was first down the sideline for a hug, followed by Iverson.
