The eighth victory of the season went to the Philadelphia 76ers thanks to a career-high scoring effort from Tyrese Maxey.
Many made fun of the Philadelphia 76ers for dealing James Harden, emphasizing the meager returns they received in return.
The Sixers defeated the Indiana Pacers for the eighth time in a row on Sunday night, so it appears they are done laughing. Tyrese Maxey scored 50 points, a career-high, on 7 of 11 three-point attempts. To cap off his career night, he added three blocks, five assists, and seven rebounds. Philadelphia’s star player, Joel Embiid, finished with 37 points, 13 rebounds, and 7 assists. The 76ers dedicated their victory to Kelly Oubre Jr., a teammate who suffered injuries on Saturday night after being hit by a car.
“This is all Kelly Oubre, and it has nothing to do with me,” Maxey declared. “Man, we’re praying for him. He’s new to me, but already I adore him.”
– Julius Randle, RJ Barrett, and Jalen Brunson, the Big Three of the New York Knicks, each scored 20 points in their decisive victory over the Charlotte Hornets. LaMelo Ball, a star player for the Hornets, scored 32 points, but he was left without assistance from his teammates.
– With 27 points and 13 rebounds, Miles Bridges guided the Brooklyn Nets to a victory over the Washington Wizards. Given that Cam Thomas is anticipated to miss some time due to an ankle injury, it is imperative that Brooklyn’s other stars step up to fill in for him.
– Behind standout performances from Zach LaVine, Nikola Vucevic, and DeMar DeRozan, the Chicago Bulls defeated the Detroit Pistons for the eighth time in a row. In contrast to their previous meeting, Chicago’s offensive output extended beyond just LaVine, as they emerged victorious.
