Nikola Jokic made a fantastic pass during Tuesday’s game.

On Tuesday evening, the Denver Nuggets has a battle the 76ers in Philadelphia.

The last two MVPs (Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid) are going head-to-head for the first time this season.

During the first half, Jokic made a spectacular pass that got a lot of views on social media.

Jokic was being guarded by Tobias Harris and threw a one-handed assist to Aaron Gordon, who finished off the play with a layup.

The Philadelphia 76ers (26-13) played the Denver Nuggets (28-14) in a highly anticipated showdown. The first matchup of the season between Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic was a masterful game that the Sixers won by a score of 126-121.

Joel Embiid had 41 points and 10 assists to lead the Philadelphia 76ers past Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets 126-121 on Tuesday night in a battle of the last two NBA MVPs.

Jokic held up his end of a heavyweight showdown with 25 points and 19 rebounds, including 11 offensive boards.

Embiid got the better of Jokic late, buoyed by a three-point play that stretched the Sixers’ lead. Embiid was fouled on a bucket and crotch-chopped in celebration toward the fans. He made the free throw for a 118-113 lead. Embiid followed with a 3-pointer for an eight-point lead and showed the Sixers are as good as any team when he’s healthy — even against the NBA champs.

Embiid gave the Sixers a scare when he fouled Michael Porter Jr. on a 3-point attempt with 26.6 seconds left. Porter hit the three free throws that pulled the Nuggets within four. Time simply ran out on a comeback.

Jokic won two straight NBA MVP awards and was beat out last season by Embiid for the honor. Embiid, a two-time defending scoring champ, again leads the league in scoring. Jokic averaged 25.5 points and had Denver rolling with one of the best records in the NBA.
