PHILADELPHIA -- Andre Miller had all the right moves against his old team. Miller scored a season-high 28 points off the bench, Nene had 20 points and 14 rebounds and the Denver Nuggets beat the Philadelphia 76ers 108-104 in overtime Wednesday night. "Its always good to win against your former team, but I enjoyed these guys and my time here," said Miller, who played for the Sixers from 2006-09. Miller scored Denvers last 10 points in regulation and got another big basket in OT. His jumper put the Nuggets ahead 106-104 with 42.9 seconds left. Miller then made a steal on Jrue Holidays errant pass to seal the Nuggets fourth consecutive win. Holidays arrival in Philadelphia led to Millers departure. "They were looking at me as another older point guard," Miller said. "Holiday will be here for a long time." The Atlantic Division-leading Sixers lost for the first time at home. They had won nine of 10 overall and were 6-0 at the Wells Fargo Center. Thaddeus Young scored 22 points and Evan Turner added 20 for the Sixers. "We just couldnt make shots," Young said. "We had every opportunity. We had good looks. We just couldnt get it to go in." The injury-riddled Nuggets had five players score in double digits, including Arron Afflalos 14 and Ty Lawsons 13. Miller added 10 assists and fell two rebounds short of a triple-double. Neither team had its starting centre. Denvers Timofey Mozgov sat out because of a back strain. Philadelphias Spencer Hawes didnt play because of a left Achilles strain. Both players arent expected to miss much time. The Nuggets also were missing guard Rudy Fernandez (right Achilles strain) for the second straight game. Down 82-72 in the fourth quarter, the Sixers scored 13 in a row. Andre Iguodala went end-to-end and dunked. He followed that up with a put-back to give Philadelphia its first lead, 83-82, since the first half. The teams went back and forth until a frantic final minute of regulation. Miller hit a short jumper to give Denver a 94-93 lead with 35 seconds left. Holiday dribbled behind his back, crossed over and scored to make it 95-94. Miller answered with a tough runner against two defenders with 7.9 seconds remaining. "Andre was spectacular tonight," Nuggets coach George Karl said. "He was our best guy down the stretch." Iguodala got fouled going to the basket and made one of two free throws to tie it with 4 seconds to go. Miller missed a 3-pointer as time expired to send it into overtime. But he made up for with the winning shot. Miller came to Philadelphia in the trade that sent Allen Iverson to Denver in Dec. 2006. "He was fabulous," Sixers coach Doug Collins said of Miller. "I dont know if I ever saw him play a better game." Trailing 41-31 in the second quarter, the Nuggets made their move when Karl put his two point guards -- Miller and Lawson -- on the floor together. Miller started a 20-4 run with a 3-pointer. He hit another one that got the Nuggets within 43-41. Nene made a layup and hit a free throw to complete a three-point play as Denver took a 44-43 lead. Miller made the play of the game while pressuring Elton Brand after the big man grabbed a defensive rebound. Miller pretended to get elbowed in the face, covered up and hit the floor. Brand got called for a foul and Miller quickly got up, cracking a smile as fans booed. "He flopped," Brand said. "He played phenomenal. He doesnt play above the rim. He uses his skill and his mind." Lawsons driving layup with the clock running down sent the Nuggets to the locker room up 51-45. The Sixers used a 9-2 run to pull within 69-67 late in the third. But the Nuggets got consecutive 3-pointers from Al Harrington and Corey Brewer. Another 3 by Afflalo gave Denver a 78-70 lead. Led by their strong bench, the Sixers pulled ahead 28-19 lead after one quarter. Lou Williams hit a jumper, Young followed with a 19-footer and Williams dropped in a 3-pointer. Notes: NBA commissioner David Stern was in the crowd. Stern talked about the Sixers resurgence before the game. "The 76ers announced their presence against the Heat in the playoffs last year. This is just a continuation of that. Its exciting," he said. Philadelphia lost to Miami in five games in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs last spring. ... The Sixers were off to their best home start since opening 10-0 in 2002-03. ... Iguodalas only basket until the fourth quarter was a highlight play. He spun around Afflalo and threw down a one-handed dunk during Denvers second-quarter run. ... Rookie Nikola Vucevic made his first start in place of Hawes. He scored just two points in 12 minutes. ... The Nuggets went 4:11 without a point in the fourth quarter. ... Iguodala fell one assist short of a triple-double. He had 11 points on just 4 for 12 shooting and grabbed 10 rebounds.

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Josh Johnson carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning in a solid Opening Day start, leading the Florida Marlins to a 6-2 victory over the New York Mets. Johnson faced just one batter over the minimum before his no-hit bid was broken up by Willie Harris double to begin the seventh. The Mets rallied for two runs in the inning, but couldnt get any more against Johnson and three Florida relievers. Johnson (1-0) left with two outs in the seventh, yielding two runs on just three hits and two walks while striking out three. He didnt realize until looking at the scoreboard for his pitch count in the fifth inning that he was throwing a no-hitter. I tried to think back if that was right or not, Johnson said. As it turned out, the Marlins got all the offense they needed on John Bucks grand slam off Mets starter Mike Pelfrey (0-1) in the fourth inning. Logan Morrison added a solo homer and Gaby Sanchez had an RBI single for the other runs. Buck, the catcher, said Johnson controlled every count and went after the hitters, mixing up his pitches and making good decisions with two strikes. Good, old-fashion pitching, Buck said. Filling in as the No. 1 starter for Johan Santana, whose shoulder surgery could keep him on the shelf until mid-season, Pelfrey went just 4 1/3 innings, yielding five runs on four hits and four walks while striking out two. He didnt have his good sinker, said new Mets manager Terry Collins, but I thought he battled hard. The Mets werent overly active in the offseason, presumably due to financial problems stemming from ownerships reported involvement with disgraced investor Bernie Madoff.dddddddddddd And their offense was downright stale. Besides Ike Davis walk with two outs in the top of the second inning, no Met reached base until Harris lined a 1-1 fastball into left-center field to break up the no-hitter. Johnson barely reacted on the play except back up the throw when Harris stretched the hit into a double. Harris scored on Carlos Beltrans double and Beltran later came home on a ground out to get the Mets within 5-2. New York only produced one more baserunner after the seventh inning -- Harris single in the eighth. Morrison homered on a line drive to right field in the eighth for Floridas final margin. Its tough to catch up when you dont get too many pitches to hit, said Collins. Buck, who signed with Florida in the offseason, battled back from an 0-2 count in the fourth and smacked an away pitch into the first row of seats for his third career grand slam. Sanchez knocked in Hanley Ramirez with a two-out hit in the fifth to make it 5-0. Ramirez saved the no-hit bid an inning before it was broken up, hustling behind second base for a grounder and spinning to throw out Josh Thole. GAME NOTES:Florida finished third behind the Phillies and Braves last year in the National League East, while the Mets were a game further back in fourth...The Marlins won all six meetings between the teams in Florida last season.
