Pickaxe and Roll

Ryan Blackburn reacts to the Denver Nuggets 116-111 win over the Philadelphia 76ers as Nikola Jokić outscores Joel Embiid by 25 points, out-rebounds him by 17, and out-assists him by 12. Embiid missed tonight's game with a sore calf, and the Nuggets took advantage by jumping out to an insurmountable lead in the second half. Jamal Murray also played well, scoring and facilitating with both the starters and second unit. Ryan discusses the game, the narratives, and the fallout for the rest of the regular season.
