The Philadelphia 76ers visited the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night, looking to get back in the win column following a loss in San Francisco on Friday. Given it was the second night of a back-to-back for both teams and both were missing key pieces, both had to battle adversity.
In the end, the Suns received more from their supporting cast and beat the Sixers, 125-105. Devin Booker had 29 points for Phoenix, but the Suns received 53 bench points, including 16 points from TJ Warren, 15 from Terrence Ross and 14 from Cam Payne.
For the Sixers, Tyrese Maxey had a big night. He had 37 points on 14-for-19 shooting, and he knocked down seven 3s, but the rest of the Sixers struggled. Even Joel Embiid shot only 8-for-19 for 28 points and Tobias Harris added 13 points.
