The Philadelphia 76ers were looking to keep their winning ways going on Saturday when they paid a visit to the Indiana Pacers. Philadelphia entered the contest winners of seven straight games and was looking to sweep not only this three-game road trip, but also the season series with the Pacers.
They also entered the night short-handed as James Harden and PJ Tucker were held out due to injuries. Considering it was the second night of a back-to-back for the Sixers, it made sense.
Luckily for the Sixers, they were able to have their star big man as well as their rising star guard. Joel Embiid had 31 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists to lead Philadelphia to another easy 141-121 win over the Pacers while Tyrese Maxey added 31 points and seven assists.
Tobias Harris chipped in with 24 points and five rebounds with four assists, De’Anthony Melton added 14 points, five rebounds, five assists, and six steals, and Georges Niang added 10 off the bench. Paul Reed also had 10, Shake Milton had nine and five assists, and Jalen McDaniels had seven.
Here are the player grades following the win:
