Philadelphia 76ers big man Nerlens Noel continues to show elite potential on the defensive end — while regaining the explosiveness he had as a freshman at Kentucky.
Wizards big man Nene went up for a quick hook before Noel rose up for an emphatic block — sending his shot into the seats.
The 76ers led 47-42 at halftime with five points, eight rebounds and two blocks from Noel.
