The Denver Nuggets achieved a significant 144-109 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, marking their largest win margin of the season and extending their winning streak to eight out of nine games. Nikola Jokić starred with his league-leading 19th triple-double, scoring 27 points, along with 13 rebounds and 10 assists, completing the feat before the end of the third quarter. The Nuggets showcased remarkable efficiency, shooting 61.2% from the field and 51.6% from three-point range, with six players scoring in double figures, including Julian Strawther with 23 points off the bench. The loss continued a tough stretch for the 76ers, who are without injured star Joel Embiid, as Tyrese Maxey led the team with 28 points.
