The Sixers looked to continue their winning ways as they traveled to Denver on Tuesday night for a cross-conference clash. The Sixers came into the night tied for ninth place in the Eastern Conference. They were once again without all three of their stars while the Nuggets had their full complement of players available, save for Peyton Watson.

The Nuggets jumped all over the Sixers from the jump in this one and took a 38-22 lead at the conclusion of the first quarter. Quentin Grimes and VJ Edgecombe struggled to get into any kind of flow as the Nuggets made it a priority to make life hard on them. Edgecombe and Grimes went a combined 4-for-13 from the field in the first quarter while the Sixers struggled to provide any resistance to the Nuggets’ offensive attack.

Things got worse for the Sixers in the second quarter as Denver continued to get whatever it wanted offensively. The Nuggets hit 9-of-17 from beyond the three-point line in the first half to go along with 25-for-44 from the floor overall. Denver held a 72-40 lead at the halftime break.

The Sixers won a quarter! The Nuggets headed to the fourth quarter with a 100-71 lead. The Sixers went to the final period a robust 37% from the field and 24% from three.

Denver went on to close this one out with no drama in the fourth. Nuggets win, 124-96.

Time for tonight’s Bell Ringer.

Marjon Beauchamp: 16 points, 6-for-11 from the field, 4-for-8 from three

The Bell Ringer for tonight goes to Marjon Beauchamp. Beauchamp got it going late in this one when the game was well out of reach. The Sixers’ athletic two-way swingman took advantage of his opportunity in an otherwise very forgettable game. Beauchamp knocked down a team- and game-high four threes in his 18 minutes of action.
