DENVER – The last time the 76ers won a game without Joel Embiid seems like a long time ago.
Back then, the Sixers played with a togetherness, a spirit and a bounce in the Nov. 7 seven-point road win over the Utah Jazz
They got all that back Saturday night in their latest game without their franchise player, defeating the the Denver Nuggets, 107-102, at the Pepsi Center.
The win improved the Sixers to 16-19. It was their second win in three games and after losing their previous five. The Sixers also improved to 2-7 in games without Embiid, snapping their six-game skid when he doesn’t play.
