DENVER -- The Denver Nuggets streak lives on thanks to some luck and pluck.

Wholesale Boston Bruins Jerseys China . Corey Brewer sank three free throws with 2.1 seconds left and the Denver Nuggets stretched their franchise-best winning streak to 14 games with a 101-100 thriller over the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night. Anthony Randolph blocked Damien Wilkins desperation jumper at the buzzer to secure Denvers 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 per cent free-throw shooter, missed both of his foul shots, the first one bouncing out and the second one slowly rimming out. "Its crazy. To be honest, I didnt think we had any chance of winning," Brewer said. "Then he missed those free throws and I was like, OK, weve got a little chance. He gave us life." After a timeout, Anthony Miller inbounded to Danilo Gallinari, who handed it off to Brewer, who quickly fired up a 3-pointer as Wilkins slapped him on his left arm, drawing the whistle with 2.1 seconds left. "I saw him coming and I just tried to get it off quick. He hit my arm, luckily, so Ill take the foul," said Brewer, who finished with 29 points. Brewer took a deep breath and sank the first shot. "I was just trying to be calm. I knew I needed to make two out of three and once I made the first one, a little pressures off," Brewer said. He hit his second, then took a step back while JaVale McGee returned to the game. Once McGee was in place for a possible rebound, Brewer swished his third free throw. After a timeout, Randolph blocked Wilkins, who finished with 24 points, and win No. 14 was theirs. "Theres no one to point the finger at," Turner said. "We played hard the whole game, whatever could go wrong did go wrong." The Nuggets havent lost at home since Jan. 14 against Washington and theyre in the midst of their longest winning streak since joining the NBA in 1976, a streak that survived despite an uncharacteristic 20 turnovers. Even though Miller scored a season-high 21 points, the Nuggets sorely missed Ty Lawson (right heel) and Wilson Chandler (left shoulder), both of whom were hurt in Denvers signature win at Oklahoma City Tuesday night. They nearly lost to the NBAs lowest scoring team, one that owns just six road wins, tied for the fewest in the league this season. Gallinaris turnover led to Wilkins jumper that made it 98-90 with two minutes remaining, and the crowd was standing in disbelief. Randolphs slam dunk with made it 98-95, but Jrue Holiday, who had 15 assists to go with his 18 points, sank two free throws with 14 seconds remaining to give Philadelphia a seemingly safe five-point cushion. Before the game, it was noted that George Karls team has been flying under the radar because of the Heats 24-game winning streak that included a comeback Wednesday night from a 27-point deficit in Cleveland. "Thats fine," Karl said. "Thats fine with me. I just dont want to get down 27 tonight. I dont think we can shoot the 3 as well as Miami does and make the comeback." Turns out the Nuggets needed a big comeback of their own. "Yeah, you need one of these," Brewer said. "You see the Heat win. They were down 27 last night and they win a crazy game. So, its fitting for us to win a game like this." It might have been the most satisfying of their 14 straight wins, too. "It was a crazy win," Gallinari said. "We didnt play our best basketball. We know it. Everybody knows it. And to win in this way, even when you dont play your best basketball is a very good sign." The Sixers wanted to hold their heads high -- but they couldnt quit shaking them in disbelief. "Effort was there, energy was there, it was closing out the game," Turner said. "Thats not what lost the game. Situations occurred. Thats some crazy stuff that just happened. The seasons been rough. Thats one you just shake your head. It seems like a fluke to me." Philadelphia coach Doug Collins was agitated at his teams failure to close out a winnable game. "We had a seven-point lead and the ball," Collins lamented. "I can sit here and do my best TNT (sugar-coating) and the end result is we didnt get it done." NOTES: Chandler said his shoulder felt better Thursday but added that he plans to sit out Denvers next two games and hopes to return March 27 against San Antonio. ... Lawson leads the Nuggets with a 16.9-point scoring average. Chandler is averaging 11.8 points and five rebounds.

EDMONTON -- Ryan-Nugent Hopkins is not only showing he belongs in the NHL, hes showing he belongs with Taylor Hall. Nugent-Hopkins, the 2011 first-overall draft pick and Hall, first overall in 2010, each had three-point nights as the Edmonton Oilers won their third consecutive pre-season game, defeating the Phoenix Coyotes 3-2 on Tuesday. Hall had two of the goals and Nugent-Hopkins the other for the Oilers, who improved to 4-2-0 in exhibition action. Nugent-Hopkins, who leads the Oilers in pre-season scoring with six points in four games, said he is gaining confidence as he goes, especially in his most recent effort, playing on a line with Hall and another Oilers first-round pick, Jordan Eberle. "We gelled together pretty quick," the 18-year-old Nugent-Hopkins said. "I felt pretty good out there with those guys. Its a ton of fun playing with those two guys and they both make it a lot easier for me coming in. Learning from them really helps. I cant get too high, but I think this helps my confidence." Hall, who underwent the scrutiny of being a first overall selection last year, said Nugent-Hopkins looks like he will live up to his billing. "Hes just such a good passer," he said. "I think any player could go on that line and play well. He finds guys. He has good speed. And people dont talk about his defensive zone play enough. Hes doing that at an NHL level. "Ryan has done a lot of good things, maybe everything that he can do to make this team." Eberle said the young line combination is having fun, but cautioned that it was still pre-season. "We cant get too high about how we looked together. Its only one pre-season game," he said. "But it was good to show how successful we could be." Ray Whitney and Shane Doan responded for the Coyotes, who have lost three straight to sit at 2-3-0 in the pre-season. The game was scoreless until there was just two minutes remaining in the first period when the two players expected to be cornerstones for Edmonton in the future combined on a power-play goal. Playing on the same line for the second time, the hhighly-drafted duo got the scoring going as Hall drove hard to the net on the man advantage and took enough of Phoenix goalie Mike Smiths attention that Nugent-Hopkins was able to sweep in the rebound. Wholesale Miami Heat Jerseys China. The Oilers future line struck again just over a minute into the second period as Nugent-Hopkins made a long pass just above the top of the crease to Hall, who snapped home his second exhibition goal. The third Oiler goal was more of the same as Nugent-Hopkins made a backhand pass from the slot to a hard-charging Hall, who blew a shot past Smith to the glove side. Phoenix put their first goal on the scoreboard with two minutes left in the middle frame on a penalty-killing gaffe by the Oilers, who allowed Whitney to receive a pass completely alone in front of the net and he swung around a helpless Nikolai Khabibulin and deposited the puck into the net. Phoenix closed to within a goal with five minutes remaining on another power play as Doan had a quick release on a feed from Patrick OSullivan for his second of the pre-season. Khabibulin finished with 18 saves for his second exhibition win, while Smith stopped 29 shots in the loss. The Coyotes are in Calgary to continue the pre-season on Thursday. The Oilers play again on Friday in Minnesota. Notes: The Oilers dressed a line of Ales Hemsky, Ryan Smyth and Shawn Horcoff that was highly effective in their 2006 run to the Stanley Cup finals.
