A blowout win? In this economy?
The Sixers welcomed Paul George back to the lineup after a three-game absence and cruised to a 111-96 victory over the Detroit Pistons Saturday.
George tapered off after a strong start, finishing with 11 points on 4-of-12 shooting along with eight rebounds and five assists.
Tyrese Maxey led all scorers with 28 points shooting 11-of-24 from the field and 5-of-10 from three. That’s three straight games shooting 50% from three for him. Ricky Council IV came off the bench for 17 points, and KJ Martin had 19 points on 7-of-8 shooting.
