Maxey looks like an All-Star dropping 42 but Sixers lose thrilling shootout to Jokic, Nuggets

What an entertaining basketball game and, man, did we all need it.

The Sixers four-game winning streak was snapped when they fell 137-134 to the Denver Nuggets Friday night.

Whether he felt snubbed or not, Tyrese Maxey led all scorers with 42 points along with nine assists. Guerschon Yabusele had a career-high 28 points while Kelly Oubre Jr. went for 27. Jamal Murray led Denver with 31 while Nikola Jokic finished with 28 as the Nuggets shot 65% from the floor.

Joel Embiid and Paul George both remained out as the team expects a further update on them after their next practice Saturday.
