Denver Nuggets vs Philadelphia 76ers — 124:96, NBA

The Denver Nuggets rolled past the Philadelphia 76ers, 124-96, using efficient shooting and constant ball movement to build separation and never let Philadelphia threaten late. Denver’s offense was balanced and decisive, generating 35 assists and converting 16 three-pointers on 33 attempts, a combination that consistently stretched the floor and created clean looks. Christian Braun led Denver with 22 points, setting the tone as the Nuggets repeatedly capitalized on open lanes and kick-out opportunities. Cameron Johnson added 18 points as Denver’s perimeter attack stayed hot throughout the night. Denver also controlled the glass (53 rebounds) and consistently finished possessions, limiting Philadelphia’s ability to create extended runs. For Philadelphia, MarJon Beauchamp paced the team with 16 points, while Quentin Grimes and Trendon Watford each scored 12. The 76ers shot a solid 28-for-53 overall, but their 9-for-41 performance from three-point range undercut their scoring efficiency and made it difficult to keep up once Denver’s lead ballooned. Going forward, Denver can point to its spacing, three-point volume, and unselfish play as a winning formula, especially when paired with a strong rebounding edge. Philadelphia’s path to improvement from this one centers on perimeter shot quality and conversion—when the three-ball isn’t falling, the margin for error shrinks quickly against a team generating as many assisted baskets as Denver did.
