Philadelphia 76ers And Denver Nuggets Pull Within One Game Of Their Conference Finals

The NBA Playoffs are in full swing right now, with four teams now just one win away from a berth in the Conference Finals after the Philadelphia 76ers and Denver Nuggets picked up massive Game 5 wins on Tuesday night.

First up was the Sixers, who split the first four games with the Boston Celtics, and despite being the underdog on the road in Boston, they walked into the TD Garden on the back of a 63 point performance from Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey and stole Game 5, and will now have a chance to close the series out at home on Thursday night.

Following that, Nikola Jokic, Bruce Brown and Michael Porter Jr. went to work on the Phoenix Suns after dropping both games on the road, and with the two-time MVP playing at an unbelievable level, there may not be any stopping the Nuggets out West after this performance.
