J.J. Redick scored a seasonhigh 34 points, Jimmy Butler had 22 and the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Denver Nuggets 117-110 on Friday night with four players making their debut. Tobias Harris, who was acquired from the Clippers, had 14 points and eight rebounds in his first game for Philadelphia.

“You couldn’t ask for any better,” Harris said. “To play like that, get that reaction from fans, it meant a lot to me. It was awesome. Feels good to be appreciated.”
