The Philadelphia 76ers did not have Joel Embiid tonight. Of course, they did not have James Harden, either, but that didn’t matter.
The top seed Miami Heat were in town with a healthy Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry AND Bam Adebayo. You could probably imagine how this game would go: with the Sixers winning 113-106! You weren’t expecting that, were you?
Tyrese Maxey showcased why he’s viewed as the third star next to Embiid and Harden. The second-year guard led the Sixers with 28 points, including a huge step-back three-pointer that helped seal the win for Philly.
