Denver Nuggets vs Philadelphia 76ers Full Highlights 1st QTR| Jan 16| 2024 NBA Regular Season

Sixers and away we go our first NBA on TNT Tuesday broadcast of the year now we’ve been on on Tuesdays but great to have le go on the gang back in studio as Maxi opens up the scoring tonight well joic there interested in getting back to mbid a

Little change of pace and Maxie who is one of the true stars in this league now able to turn the corner kavus Caldwell PP gets up the first shot for the nuggets sticks it and both teams scoring in their opening possessions and that Maxi Murray matchup that is certainly

The secondary act to yic and embiid but that’s quite a secondary act double team comes on embiid drop 41 points in 31 minutes yesterday in a Sixers win over the Rockets gets it back mid-range no good and here come Denver well you see there Denver coming

To double embiid on the dribble which I think is the best way to double him turns the ball over frequently in those situations nuggets coming in 28 and 13 they’re third in the West played exactly 41 games as joic into the scorebook for the first time yeah guarded by Batum

With embiid able to roam embiid on Aaron Gordon Maxi hits a three an emerging Talent playing like an All-Star this year coach and now Tobias Harris on joic Caldwell Poe drives and now yic goes to work with Harris matching up with him who guards joic that’ll be the key all night long

Look at that Bullet Pass Gordon from joic yeah do you want him to be a scorer or a passer when he shoots when they lose he shoots 20 shots a game when they win he shoots 15 shots yeah some teams are allowing yic and going one-on-one with

Him to try to turn him into a score is ined man how good as he been with the jump shot this year and his shooting percentage is up and a lot of those baskets are in that mid-range he has such a great touch UB draws the yic

Assignment this trip down the floor and immediately fouls him here’s embiid with the double team coming by Caldwell Pope but yeah Brian he’s been one of the best mid-range shooter in the NBA this year League’s leading score embiid averaging nearly 35 a game Michael Malone says he

Is the most unguardable big man in the NBA as the Nuggets get another one from kabius Caldwell Pope he’s off to a good start tonight well that’s where he hits from the corners 48% on Corner threes and that’s almost 40% of his attempts first three of the game for Denver that

One rattles in and out Gordon rips down the rebound these starting fives are very familiar with one another both are excellent in the plus minus Porter Jr nice touch and that’s rare for Porter Jr it’s the one area he struggled from is those in between shots but Tom did a great job

Chasing him off the three-point line there but he’s able to roll that one in Tyrese Maxi turning the corner gives it right back embiid always a willing shooter from three-point range and he knocks it in and in the way this guy’s been playing Michael Malone said before the

Game he’s the most unguardable player in the NBA here’s Porter for three first Miss for Denver a team that shot 65% from the field in a win against Indiana Sunday they shot 50% from three-point range in that victory over the Pacers without Halton on Sunday in Denver inbi against

Jic crowd swells up beid hits it on him just such a good shooter there’s nothing you can do with that one you don’t want to have to be coming to double team him there especially this early in the game so fascinating to see a a real big with the big men trying to

Get yic into some foul trouble and trying to keep embiid out of foul trouble as Porter goes strong again he’s found some space in there now and he’s hit his last two in that area nuggets shooting it well to start to game on the road they’ve got a brutal road trip

Starting tonight five in a row away from the mile high city and a gauntlet on the schedule for the nuggets as well this will be their toughest two weeks they have as embiid a flurry of moves and yic had it denied by embiid Maxi Maxi takes it to the basket on

Jamal Murray one of the fastest guys in this league he’s coming at you in transition it’s very very difficult Murray to Gordon Gordon wisely backs it out and beats such a presence defensively Gordon going back in there again David Guthrie Shawn Wright Natalie Sego are three officials tonight and Gordon missed them both

Nuggets have been one of the worst free throw shooting teams in the league all year they are third from the bottom collectively here’s the Lefty UB nope Porter with the rebound and you see the matchup Chang there for Denver UB got it om embiid is the most dominant

Individual player in the game I’m taking joic for two reasons number one they were drafted in the same year and joic has played over 200 more games than embiid and second joic is a much better playoff performer than embiid has been in his career thanks to Adam leco a word

From FanDuel it’s good question set up for the coach here’s Aaron Gordon he drives it kicks it that extra pass to set up Porter and Porter rips the cords making his way to the top five in nuggets franchise history in three-pointers he is on that chase could get there this

Season nuggets just had a game where they had four players all score 20 or more points quarter joic and Murray went for 25 a piece against the Pacers Sunday it beat stuck late block High Pass got to get one up it’s off in time and Batum Reigns in a

Three-pointer that is a great catch and shot by Nick patum Caldwell Pope once again that little mid-range is true Caldwell Pope is three for three he’s hit a three-pointer he’s got eight quick ones here in this first quarter well they’re living on mid-range jumpers Michael Porter Jr’s hit a couple Pop’s hit a

Couple MB take it on Gordon drops the shoulder leaves it for UB well and again just what’s happening to at the other end of the floor joic comes to help with Aaron Gordon on him so you’re going to use those big guys to roam but if they lose vision on their

Men lose focus you end up giving up some easy buckets Porter again he’s feeling it that quick release silky smooth stroke of Michael Porter Jr he has really been the ex factor in this emergence of the Nuggets they knew what they had in joic and Murray once Murray

Came back from the injury but a healthy Michael Porter Jr has changed everything for this franchise well he can get his shots off over anybody big high release and he has shot over 40% every year of his career from three-point range Porter made Seven threes against the Pacers

Here is Gordon joic with the offensive Board second offensive rebound he puts it in this time first 14 points for Philadelphia split between embiid and Maxi the top scoring duo in the NBA averaging 61 a game embiid is the top score in the NBA
