The Philadelphia 76ers have secured the top spot in the NBA power rankings for the first time this season, thanks in part to their recent performance against the Denver Nuggets.
During a successful week where they went 4-0, the Sixers notably defeated the defending champions with a 126-121 win on the second night of back-to-back games. The Nuggets’ other win over the previous No. 1 team, the Boston Celtics, further contributed to the Sixers’ ascent to the top spot.
