Tyrese Maxey scored 25 points off the bench in San Antonio and the Sixers picked up a 137-125 win Friday night over the Spurs. NBCSports has the recap of the win.
Next up for the Sixers is a Sunday night matchup with the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Here are observations on their win in San Antonio:persisted early against the Spurs. Within the game’s first 50 seconds, Harden, Tobias Harris and Embiid all committed rather casual turnovers. Embiid soon added another when he spun right into Keita Bates-Diop’s well-timed double team.
In the second quarter, the Sixers’ offense dialed in completely. The team scored a whopping 47 points in the second,, and only turned the ball over once. The Sixers won’t pat themselves on the back too hard for a huge quarter against a young, undermanned opponent, but their top offensive gear or two can produce these sorts of bursts. Harden at one point tallied four assists in 68 seconds, including an alley-oop to Embiid.Maxey continued to serve as the Sixers’ sixth man.
Harrell was unhappy with two fouls called on him late in the first. His interior defense did not trouble the Spurs, who posted 32 of their first 42 points in the paint. Harrell did score six second-quarter points, including two hoops off of Maxey lobs, and he’s consistently shown solid feel as a dribble-handoff hub and roll man alongside Shake Milton .Both Embiid and Harden had injury scares in the first half.
