Sixers Blow 21 Point Lead in 4th Quarter to Denver......... & Flyers Win in Overtime over the Habs!

The Philadelphia Sixers lose their third straight as they fall to the Denver Nuggets 100-97. The Sixers were leading by 21 points and blew it in the fourth quarter. Ben Simmons was not in the lineup due to injury. This was totally unacceptable! Nikola Jokic drilled the game winning  shot with one second left after great defense by the Sixers. Joel Embiid had an awful game and I expect way better out of him! Al Horford struggled big time, only shooting 3 of 12 from the field. Josh Richardson recorded three points and Mike Scott made one field goal in 19 minutes of run. Brett Brown deserves blame and so does Tobias Harris for not being aggressive enough. A couple players did alright as Trey Burke, Raul Neto, and Kyle O'Quinn did their job. Matisse Thybulle did not check in for any minutes. There were a few terrible calls made by the refs late, but that was not the reason the Sixers blew the game. 
The Philadelphia Flyers win in overtime 3-2 against the Montreal Canadiens to improve to 8-5-2 on the season! Carey Price almost stole the game for the Habs, but the Flyers never gave up. To start the scoring in the first period, Phillipe Myers put a wrister on net from the blue line that beat Price. Under one minute into the second period, James Van Riemsdyk scores a goal from the door step. Carter Hart allowed a bad rebound after the Flyers pumped Price with a bunch of great scoring chances for the Habs to cut the lead to 2-1. Shea Weber, in the third, responded with a goal off a Flyers turnover in the defensive zone to tie the game. Carsen Twarynski was rewarded a penalty shot late in the third period, but couldn't find the back of the net. In overtime, Sean Couturier squeaks one past Price to win the game. Philly went 0 for 6 on the powerplay.
