Ridiculous shot to seal it, he's the most clutch player in the league right now. Also no foul as usual. He should have gone to the line about 8 more times yesterday but the refs had Philly. His defence helped seal the win too. His court vision and ability to run the offence as a big man is crazy.

Jokic was clearly outplayed by Embiid last night, that's not even questionable. I mean fuck, the Nuggets were better when Jokic was OFF the floor (he was -9 on the night lmao).
Especially when defending each other, Embiid can contain Jokic while Jokic stands absolutely no chance defending Embiid 1 on 1 (hence the help he required to defend him). There's levels to this shit, and while Jokic is ultra skilled he's just not the all-around monster that Embiid is on both ends and last night made it pretty clear.
Nuggets played better as a team though, clearly. The bench helped them win that game, while the Sixers bench did absolutely nothing.
