Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey combined for 60 points, but were stunned in OT by the shorthanded Denver Nuggets as the Philadelphia 76ers fell 125-124. The Sixers had their winning streak halted at three by Peyton Watson, Jalen Pickett and the undermanned Nuggets. Watson and Pickett matched the two Sixers stars’ output with 53 combined points, leading Denver to a remarkable win without Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon and many other rotation players. The PHLY Sixers podcast react to the stunning loss.
