PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Andre 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.

Miller scored Denver’s 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 Holiday’s errant pass to seal the Nuggets’ fourth consecutive win.

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.

The injury-riddled Nuggets had five players score in double digits, including Arron Afflalo’s 14 and Ty Lawson’s 13.

NBA Approves Joshua Harris’ Purchase Of…

The NBA announced early Tuesday that its owners had unanimously approved the sale of the Philadelphia 76ers to New York-based investor Joshua Harris. Word that Harris had bid to purchase the Sixers from Comcast-Spectator broke last spring, with a deal worth a reported $280 million being reached in July.

The sale approval comes in a quite odd time for the league, as the NBA lockout has been underway for 109 days. Another team, the Atlanta Hawks, is reportedly working through the sale process, albeit on a different timeline than the Sixers. Comcast’s sale of the Sixers represents a 57 percent return on an initial investment made in 1996. The Sixers made one NBA Finals trip during that span, in Allen Iverson’s heyday.

Harris has remained out of the public eye up until now, though a press conference is expected soon. Harris’ group has said it will remain tenants of the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia (owned by Comcast-Spectator) and will remain a partner of Comcast Sports Philly, its local broadcaster.

According to a press release from Comcast-Spectacor, the group has reach an agreement to sell the Philadelphia 76ers to a group led by Joshua Harris, Co-Founder of Apollo Global Management, LLC.

The sale, which is subject to the approval of the National Basketball Association’s Board of Governors, does not include the Wells Fargo Center or the Philadelphia Flyers, but the team will remain as a tenant of the Wells Fargo Center.

“We are honored to have the opportunity to be affiliated with this storied franchise,” said Harris. “As a basketball fan who attended college in Philadelphia, and with family roots here, I have always felt a strong connection to this City and the 76ers. We look forward to helping the 76ers organization build on this past season’s accomplishments in the years ahead. The ownership group also looks forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with Comcast-Spectacor.”

The sale is expected to close later in 2011. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
