DENVER – Here are my key takeaways and “best” and “worst” awards from the 76ers’ 107-102 victory over the Denver Nuggets Saturday night at the Pepsi Center.
Five observations
— Jerryd Bayless has received his share of criticism this season. However, the Sixers reserve combo guard showed why the team signed him to a three-year, $27 million contract in July, 2016. He was on fire late in the third quarter to early in the fourth. He scored all 14 of his points during the stretch. Successfully running their offense through him, Bayless scored all but four of the Sixers points during that time.
