Dario Šarić, the 23-year-old wonder kid from Šibenik, keeps getting better this NBA season, and his latest match against the Denver Nuggets is further proof of this basketball star’s talent.
Dario Šarić was the best shooter of the Philadelphia 76ers who overcame the Denver Nuggets 107-102 in Denver on Saturday, December 30, 2017.
In his 35-minutes on the court, Šarić scored 20 baskets (shots for two-pointers 3-8, three-pointers 3-7). Additionally, he collected nine jumps, six assists, and one block. Dario’s shooting average in the game was 6/15 (40%), while he was 3/7 (43%) for three-pointers and hit all five free throws. This is Dario’s sixth game of the season where he scored at least 20 points with such an effect.
Šaric's Sixers led the biggest comeback of the season, claiming the victory after they were down 14 points. This is also a psychologically significant triumph for the team because they have amazingly missed winning games where they have a 20-point lead in recent months.
