Pennsylvania, May 21 (AFP) - Reggie Miller and the Indiana Pacers have been around too long to be intimidated by a noisy crowd on the road. Miller scored 29 points and the experienced Pacers took Allen Iverson and the First Union Center crowd out of the game, cruising to a 97-86 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers and a commanding 3-0 lead in their Eastern Conference semi-final series. Miller got off to a quick start, helping the Pacers withstand the early emotional thrust from the sellout crowd and take the lead for good. He scored 13 points in the first quarter as he ignored derisive chants from the Sixers' fans. After allowing Philadelphia back into Games One and Two, sqeaking out two home wins by a total of seven points, Indiana repelled every rally. In the fourth quarter, the Pacers held the 76ers without a basket for nearly six minutes, widening a four-point lead to 88-74. Iverson also started quickly but finished poorly. He scored 32 points but shot just 13-of-33 from the field, including 2-of-8 in the fourth quarter, when Philadelphia collapsed and saw its 10-game home winning streak come to an end. Chris Mullin scored 15 points for the Pacers, who remained the only unbeaten team in the postseason and can advance to the conference finals for the second straight year with a victory in Game Four on Sunday. No team has ever won a best-of-seven series after losing the first three games. bb99 --=-=--
