Christian Braun scored a career-high 22 points off the bench to lead the Denver Nuggets to a decisive 124-96 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night. The game took place at Ball Arena in Denver.
The 76ers were severely undermanned, playing without reigning MVP Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Tobias Harris, and several other key rotation players due to injuries. Denver capitalized on Philadelphia's depleted roster, building a substantial lead by halftime and maintaining control throughout the second half.
Alongside Braun's performance, Nikola Jokic recorded a triple-double with 26 points, 16 rebounds, and 7 assists. The Nuggets' defense held the 76ers to under 100 points, securing their third consecutive win and improving their record as they push for playoff positioning in the Western Conference.
