The Philadelphia 76ers had themselves a nice weekend, defeating Charlotte at home on Friday night, before pulling off a strong upset win on the road in Dallas on Sunday afternoon. The win over the Mavericks was particularly impressive, with the Sixers controlling the action for most of the game and having five players score in double figures, three with 21 points or more. It was the right recipe for success for this squad for as long as Joel Embiid will be sidelined: moments of brilliance from Tyrese Maxey (17 points in the first quarter that caused Dallas to aggressively double him from that point on), but with strong contributions from up and down the roster.
