RECAP Nuggets vs Sixers | This game had EVERYTHING
It was a center showdown in South Philly on Tuesday night between the last two MVPs with jic listed as questionable heading into the game we were unsure if we were going to get it but he ended up playing we got blessed with a Prime Time
Game that saw Stan bang guny go into a few rants one of which was blaming the Sixers fans for running Brett Brown and Ben Simmons out of the city it is obvious s van guny does not prepare for these types of rants as it kind of takes
Over the entire broadcast and when this happened the entire broadcast missed both yic and UB bumping heads and Maxi’s Valiant effort getting a wedgie out of the backboard both teams started the game on fire from the field with the Nuggets making their first six shots but
MB would take the first frame scoring 14 points and five assists to yic is six points and three assists both teams would finish the quarter on fire shooting above 60% from the field though the Nuggets held a two-point lead heading into the second quarter bball Paul Pat Bev and Marcus moris Senor kept
The Sixers aoat and didn’t let the game get two out a hand with maxi and embiid on the bench which was very important and we got a quiet but very much appreciated for kma’s appearance we B was finding a Groove setting up his teammates and dishing the ball out on
Double teams jokic was finding a Groove getting offensive rebounds on his own misses I wouldn’t be surprised if most of his 25 points came off Second Chance points as he finished with 11 offensive rebounds the Nuggets were defending Joel without fouling for the start of this one he didn’t get fouled until this
Halfway through the second second quarter he was converting from all over the mid-range area I mean when you look seven of his 13 M shots were from the mid-range and it when you add three threes on top of that it goes to show just how good of a shooting night Joel
Had the Sixers would send Nico Batum and Tobias Harris to guard yic at the beginning of this game and as jic kept picking up the pace and getting offensive rebounds with Joel roaming nurse switched it so that embiid would be the main defender on him in the second
Half nuggets would end the third quarter though on a 15-2 run and hold a five-point lead heading into the fourth quarter it wouldn’t be until a Marcus Morris senior four-point play that saw the Sixers break even and it would be a Joel embi in mid-range that gave them a
Lead three more Joel embiid shots going in and they were holding an eight-point lead for a long stretch in the fourth quarter and playing phenomenal defense while doing so up eight with just a couple minutes left a crucial block by Nico baton on Jamal Murray pretty much
Isis one and it would close out the eighth match up between embiid and joic embiid now winning six of them compared to jokic’s two embiid finished with a massive 41 point 10 assist game and yic finished with 25 points and 19 rebounds pretty ironic considering what these
Guys are known for Joel bully ball joic timing up teammates yic gets the more rebound total and B gets more of the assist total yic would finish with just three assists tying his lowest assist mark on the season with a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves the Sixers
Will travel to Denver on the 27th to go for the season sweep or will the Nuggets be prepared with a new defensive scheme to stop the big fella let me know what you guys think in the comments
Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic went head to head for the eighth time in their careers on Tuesday night. Here’s what happened…
