Josh Giddey had a triple-double with 29 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists, Nikola Vucevic made a 3-pointer with 3.2 seconds remaining and the Chicago Bulls came back from a 24-point deficit to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 113-111 on Tuesday night.
Tyrese Maxey and the Philadelphia 76ers evaluate their first real road trip of the season while highlighting the competitiveness brought to the floor.
The Sixers looked every bit of the part of a team that had just played a grueling contest when they stepped onto the floor in Cleveland on Wednesday night.
After an abysmal season last year, the Sixers have won five of their first six games. If you’re looking for another Philly team to follow, here’s what to know.
Russell Westbrook's still got it. The future Hall of Famer had 23 points, 16 rebounds, and 10 assists in a win over the Warriors on Wednesday while shooting 9-for-13 overall and 3-for-4 from deep. If the Kings are going to get this version of Westbrook consistently, then maybe things are looking up in SacTown.
Jared McCain made his season debut on Tuesday night, marking his return to NBA action after more than 10 months on the sidelines. Nine-time All Star Paul George should join him shortly. Joel Embiid is playing more minutes as the year goes on, and the hope is that eventually his minutes restriction will be lifted.
Tyrese Maxey has been incredible to open the new season, and well and truly deserves his Eastern Conference Player of the Week honor.
Maxey just finished off a week in which he averaged 33.5 points, 9.8 assists, 5.3 rebounds, and shot 47.4% from the floor while leading the Sixers to a 3-1 week. Those numbers earned him the Eastern Conference Player of the Week award. His point guard counterpart, Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, took home the award in the West.
Sixers guard VJ Edgecombe proved that he is a basketball sicko after spending his travel day watching Northwestern vs. Mercyhurst.
