After the most miserable day the Sixers could have experienced, Tuesday brought joy and excitement. The Sixers nabbed a much-needed win behind a terrific, team-oriented offensive performance.

One down, 24 to go. The Sixers won the first game of Paul George’s 25-game suspension for violating the NBA’s anti-drug program, notching a 124-114 victory Saturday night over the Pelicans at Xfinity Mobile Arena.

Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid saved the 76ers from another embarrassing loss. But for a while, the on-court action was secondary because of a report that Giannis Antetokounmpo wants to play with Maxey.

All day Thursday, the Sixers' messaging was clear: they could not take a perceived easy matchup against Sacramento lightly. Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid certainly did not.

Tyrese Maxey scored 40 points, including the winning layup with 1.3 seconds remaining, Joel Embiid had 37 points and the Philadelphia 76ers rallied to edge the Sacramento Kings 113-111.
