It's Miller (Over) Time

Andre on the spot.
Andre Miller led one of his former teams (Denver) into the arena of one of his other former teams (Philadelphia) last night, coming off the bench and coming away with the win in overtime. It was Philly's first home loss of the season, and it was apparent that Miller felt comfortable playing in his former venue. He shot 12-20 from the field, 3-4 from behind the arc, and 1-2 at the stripe for a season-high 28 points. Miller also had 10 assists, 8 rebounds, and 2 steals. Andre made the plays when it mattered most, hitting a driving jump shot with 7.9 seconds left in regulation to put Denver up one; after a 76ers free throw tied the score, he missed a 3 at the buzzer (his only missed 3 of the night). In overtime, Miller once again hit the Nuggets' final bucket to put them ahead 106-104, and then made the steal to seal it. Denver got two more free throws for a 108-104 victory, thanks to 'Dre!
