On Tuesday night — with Paul George not yet in the lineup and Joel Embiid existing in the first half with a knee injury — the younger generation of 76ers helped to power Philadelphia (7–4) to a 102–100 win at the buzzer and second place in the Atlantic Division.
The Sixers were led by thunderous performances by Tyrese Maxey with 21 points, Justin Edwards with 22, Quentin Grimes with 18, Anthony Drummond with fourteen points accompanied by 13 rebounds. The Sixers trailed 90–82 with 6:46 left in the final period — when Edwards helped to cut the led with a pair of three-pointers. With just over 2:00 minutes left — VG Edgecombe nailed a three pointer to put the Sixers up 100–96. Kelly Oubre then scored the winning bucket with just under nine seconds left to secure the win.
The Sixers also had the good news after the win with some additional good news as it appears that Joel Embiid has avoided a major knee injury as the team prepares for the return of Paul George.
Next up — Detroit on Friday night. Not the Lions, mind you — the Pistons.
