SPORTSTICKER NBA PLAYOFF PREVIEW (INDIANA-PHILADELPHIA) Indiana at Philadelphia 12:30 pm EDT PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- The Philadelphia 76ers hope to avoid being swept in a seven-game series for the first time in franchise history today when they host the Indiana Pacers in Game Four of the Eastern Conference semifinals. After playing the Pacers tough in Games One and Two at Market Square Arena, the Sixers disappointed the revved up crowd at the First Union Center by fading down the stretch in a 97-86 loss on Friday. Allen Iverson scored 32 points but was just 2-of-10 in the final period as Indiana pulled away. The Sixers, making their first postseason appearance since 1991, were ousted in three straight games by New York in a first-round series in 1989. No team has ever won a best-of-seven series after losing the first three games. Indiana is looking for its first four-game sweep since moving over from the American Basketball Association in 1976. The Pacers are seeking their fourth trip to the conference finals this decade and the player that helped them to the previous three has led them to the brink again. Reggie Miller scored 29 points in Game Three, including 13 in the first quarter, to help contain the hostile crowd. "With all the hoopla in this city, we wanted to get into the game as quickly as possible," Miller said. "They play well here. We watched them manhandle Orlando in their first series, so we wanted to get into it early." Chris Mullin scored 15 points for the Pacers, who remained the only unbeaten team in the playoffs at 6-0 Game Five, if necessary, will be at Indiana on Wednesday.
