Sixers Thrash Nuggets 103-87; Coach's Rhyme-Rhyming Skills Boosts Playoffs!
Coach Nick Nurse addresses the blowout loss the Philadelphia 76ers suffered to the Denver Nuggets to begin their road trip.
The Philadelphia 76ers began their 3-game road trip on Tuesday with a predictable 124-96 loss to the Denver Nuggets. The Sixers invaded Ball Arena while missing Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, Kelly Oubre Jr. , and Jabari Walker while the Nuggets had a healthy squad.
There was very little chance for the Sixers to win that game. With that being said, there were opportunities. Philadelphia shot just 4-for-24 from deep in the first half and it stalled the offense a bit.
After the loss, coach Nick Nurse addressed the struggles as he did like the looks Philadelphia got on the offensive end. "Listen, I think we've kind of been down this road a couple times," Nurse told reporters. "The offense has got to be good against this team and it wasn't awful.
We just didn't hit any shots. 24 3s in the first half. I bet you 19 or 20 of them were ones we probably wanted to take.
