DEN vs PHI ScoutingDEN vs PHI Scouting
Welcome to the scouting desk. The coffee is cold, the film is play-by-play, and somebody has to explain what happened.
Every game has a hinge — a stretch where it was decided, usually while everyone was watching something else. Start where the evidence lives: the Lineups' face-offs say which five actually won their minutes; the Possessions ledger says who ran ahead of the night's own pace; the Shot Chart says where the points really came from, which is rarely where the highlights were. When all three agree, that is the story. When they don't — that is why this desk has a chair.

Christian Braun scores 22 as Nuggets rout short-handed 76ers 124-96
DENVER -- — Christian Braun had 22 points, Nikola Jokic finished with 14 assists, and the Denver Nuggets routed the injury-plagued Philadelphia 76ers 124-96 on Tuesday night.
Denver kept pace with Minnesota, which beat Phoenix on Tuesday night , in a tight Western Conference race. There are 1 1/2 games separating the third-place Los Angeles Lakers and the Timberwolves in sixth.
Philadelphia played without Joel Embiid (right oblique strain), Tyrese Maxey (sprained finger) and Kelly Oubre Jr . (left elbow strain). Paul George is serving a 25-game suspension .
The sold-out crowd booed Embiid when he came to the bench for the first time in the third quarter. Embiid has missed the last six Sixers games in Denver, denying Nuggets fans an MVP matchup between the Philadelphia big man and Jokic.
Jokic scored eight points on 4 of 7 shooting but reached 10 assists in less than 12 minutes. He picked up two quick fouls and a technical in the first quarter after dishing out eight assists.
Cameron Johnson scored 18 points and Jamal Murray finished with 12 points after shooting 1 of 14 at the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night. Murray missed his final 13 shots before fouling out in the overtime loss.
Denver was missing its starting five when the teams met in Philadelphia on Jan. 5 but pulled out an overtime win against a healthy Sixers team.
The Nuggets didn’t suffer the same fate as Philadelphia on Tuesday night. They never trailed, jumping out to a 16-point lead after the first quarter and 71-38 on Braun’s two free throws with play with 1:39 left in the second quarter.
Denver held the Sixers to 40 points in the first half, the fewest it has allowed, and never let them back into the game.
Up next 76ers: Continue their three-game road trip at Sacramento on Thursday night.
