Almost none of it was pretty, but the Sixers picked up their 50th win of the season by knocking off the Dallas Mavericks, 116-108, Wednesday night. After missing Monday's loss in Denver, Joel Embiid led the Sixers with 25 points on 8 of 17 shooting, along with nine rebounds and three assists.
Tyrese Maxey had 22 points along with four rebounds and four assists.
James Harden also returned after missing the last four games, and he gave the Sixers 15 points along with 12 assists and four boards.
Here are some thoughts at the buzzer.
