Ahead of yet another Sixers back-to-back — they will host the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night without Joel Embiid, Paul George and several others before welcoming the Sacramento Kings to town on Wednesday night — let's get into this week's Sixers mailbag, with questions centered around the team's young depth.
The Philadelphia 76ers stunned the Cleveland Cavaliers in a 132-129 win, defeating the Eastern Conference’s top seed in a rousing home win. All it took was the very best three-point shooting they had to offer.
Edwards finished with three points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three steals and two rebounds over 29 minutes during Saturday's 109-97 victory over Chicago.
The Sixers finally had a night where they were the ones that shot the lights out as they snapped their seven-game losing streak with an exciting win over the Cavs Friday.
Despite a good game from Paul George and a huge second half from Tyrese Maxey, the Sixers dropped their fourth straight game.
Having already committed three first-half turnovers, the Sixers’ Paul George took a couple of slow dribbles toward the baseline, spun out of a trap and zipped a pass crosscourt … 10 feet over his intended recipient’s head and into the seats.
The Philadelphia 76ers have won just three of their last 10 games and are 10-21 without Joel Embiid this year. Still, the 76ers brass is confident that Embiid will return to action and lead them to the playoffs.
The Sixers faced some adversity in this one, as they often have this season, but grind their way to second consecutive victory taking down the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night.
The Sixers were bound to win sometime. No one outside the locker room would’ve guessed that they’d do it against the Eastern Conference’s best team this season. The Sixers earned a 132-129 victory over the Cavs on Friday night at the Wells Fargo Center to end a seven-game losing streak.
Paul George and Tyrese Maxey combined for 59 points as the Philadelphia 76ers snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 132-129 upset of the league-leading Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.
Paul George scored 30 points, shooting 6 of 11 on 3s, and Tyrese Maxey added 29 points with seven assists. Instead of Joel Embiid, out with swelling in his left knee, Kelly Oubre Jr. played the third role with 22 points and 13 rebounds while Guerschon Yabusele scored 12 points with 13 rebounds, leading to a 132–129 win at the Wells Fargo Center.
The 76ers posted their best three-point shooting of the season in a shocking win over the Cavs. Nick Nurse reacted to the victory.
