NBA: Denver Nuggets seal the win in 2.1 second thriller

Corey Brewer sank three free throws in the final 2.1 seconds to help the Denver Nuggets extend their club-best winning streak to 14 games with a thrilling 101-100 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday.

Anthony Randolph blocked Damien Wilkins’ desperate jump shot at the buzzer to secure Denver’s 16th straight win at the Pepsi Center and its most unlikely.

The Nuggets, overlooked in the great surge by the Miami Heat, trailed by five as the clock ticked below 10 seconds.

Brewer sank a 3-pointer with 9.2 seconds left that made it 100-98. He fouled Evan Turner with 7.1 seconds left and Turner, a 75% free-throw shooter, missed both of his foul shots, the first one bouncing out and the second one slowly rimming out.

“It’s crazy. To be honest, I didn’t think we had any chance of winning,” Brewer said. “Then he missed those free throws and I was like, ‘OK, we’ve got a little chance.’ He gave us life.”
