Nuggets spoil AI's return to Philly with a 93-83 win

AI was 4-11 for 11 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds

Other cool facts:
Chauncey Billups barely missed a triple double. He had 31 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists

This was the first game Carmelo Anthony did not score 20+ points. He scored 14 on 5-21 shooting (WOW)

The 76ers looked like they could have made a comeback after Andre Iguodala hit 2 three pointers late in the game, but nobody scored after that and the Nuggets won

The Nuggets bench outscored the 76ers bench 29-2 (Philly's bench shot 1-15)

The Nuggets shot 61% from beyond the arc (11-18), while the Sixers shot 26% (5-19)

Samuel Dalembert had 6 blocks in the game, all before halftime

Chris Andersen was the only player in the game to not miss a shot (2-2)

NUGGETS RULE

Wow, Philly's bench was a non-factor since they pretty much did not contribute anything.

Not surprising that the Nuggets won this game anyway.
Philly just got beat by the better team.

Wow, Chauncey did a great job of picking up the slack when Carmelo did not have such a hot game; that is why I love that man (not as much as Timmay)...he is such a difference maker and a good contributer to his team.

I knew the Nugs would win. I got to watch the game and Allen Iverson looks like he'll fit in well there. I haven't seen that many people in the stands since... well... since Allen Iverson was a Sixer the first time around.

I like Nick C's take on this.

Wachovia Center has looked empty almost the whole year and this game it looked packed and had some energy

Allen Iverson fits really well back in the city he came in and makes them a better team. I think he rejuvenates himself in Philly as I said.

76ers are 5-16 and need alot of help. Having Iverson in Philly gives them much needed scoring. They played tough most of the way against a really good Nuggets team

Nuggets beat them close
