Denver lead by 20 in fourth quarter, but nearly lose against rivals missing Embiid, Harden
-
DENVER- The Denver Nuggets were unhappy that they nearly collapsed against the shorthanded Philadelphia 76ers on Monday, despite continuing their march towards the National Basketball Association's (NBA) Western Conference top seeding with a 116-111 home victory.
Two-time reigning NBA Most Valuable Player Nikola Jokic had his 29th triple-double of the season for Denver with 25 points, 17 rebounds and 12 assists.
But he was disappointed that the Nuggets let a 20-point fourth-quarter lead dwindle to just three with 28.9 seconds remaining.
The Sixers third in the East were missing star centre Joel Embiid and playmaker James Harden.
"We didn't do a good job today," Jokic said. "We had control of the whole game, and then in the fourth quarter, we lost control.
"We took bad shots, we didn't play defence and that's why they came back." Nuggets sixth man Bruce Brown, who had 18 points, added: "We can't have that kind of letdown, especially against a team with their two superstars out.
