The Nuggets squeaked past the 76ers 112-107. The 76ers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nuggets. The Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Nuggets. The 76ers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.
