The Denver Nuggets were not in their groove early, stumbled through the beginning of the second quarter and then turned on the jets to tie it at halftime. It wasn’t enough, though, as the Philadelphia 7ers made the plays down the stretch to pull out a win 117-110. Joel Embiid had a poor shooting night but finished strong to net 15 points, 12 rebounds and 4 big blocks. J.J. Redick was an assassin from deep, finishing with 34 points and 6 made threes, while Jimmy Butler added 22 points and was a perfect 14-of-14 from the line.
