Down Giannis, who is sidelined through the All-Star break with a left calf strain, the Milwaukee Bucks notched their third win of the season over the Philadelphia 76ers behind a scintillating a season-high 43/8/8 performance from Damian Lillard. Tyrese Maxey paced the visitors with 39.
Game Recap
Embiid started perfect from the field (as did the Sixers on their first four shots) with 15 early points, hitting three triples, but Lillard’s nine kept the scoreboard moving. Each side traded buckets for much of the period until a 13-2 Sixers run put them ahead seven.
