Daily News | Sixers rally late for 133-130 victory, snap Milwaukee Bucks’ 16-game winning streak
MILWAUKEE — James Harden got free from the defense and pulled up for three, sinking the shot that got the 76ers back within one.Embiid’s go-ahead deep shot with 42 seconds remaining capped the Sixers’ most impressive victory of the season. They rallied from an 18-point second-half deficit against the NBA’s hottest team, snapping the Bucks’ 16-game winning streak with a 133-130 victory Saturday night at Fiserv Forum.
They cut their deficit to 101-100 on a Harden three-pointer and old-fashioned three-point play with about nine minutes remaining. Then they got within one again, at 106-105, when Georges Niang sank one of his five deep shots with less than seven minutes to play — before tying the score at 108 on another three about midway through the quarter.
Maxey got going with a six-point burst late in the second quarter, including a crafty transition layup and floater. That continued into the third, when he hit a three-pointer, layup and off-balance floater. After Embiid’s go-ahead three-pointer, Maxey hit two free throws to push the Sixers’ lead to 129-125 with 25 seconds to go.
