Philadelphia 76ers News

TYRESE MAXEY IS TAKING OVER. 7 straight points in the clutch... he's got 41!

Close one down the stretch here in Philadelphia, with the Sixers holding a 122-118 lead over the Magic with 3:05 left to play. Timeout Sixers, who will have the ball after this stoppage.

Kelly Oubre Jr. has been fantastic tonight. Obviously, Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe deserve the love, but Oubre really has been a difference maker in this one. He has made a lot of the little plays. #Sixers

An absolute battle here coming down to the wire between the Sixers and Magic. Philly up 4 with 3 mins to play...

Hard to believe how great VJ Edgecombe is already looking for Philly

the Bahamian connection. 🇧🇸

VJ EDGECOMBE BLOCKED PAOLO 🚫 Moving like a vet 🔥

THIS VJ BLOCK. THIS MAXEY TAKE. THIS ANGLE. (via @sixers)

this angle goes crazy. 🤯

The Sixers dropped 72 points on the Magic, who came into the game with the 5th best defense, in the first half, despite playing without Joel Embiid, Paul George and Jared McCain. Tyrese Maxey (22 and 4) and VJ Edgecombe (18 on 10 shots) have been electric once again. Big half from Kelly Oubre Jr (16 on 9 shots) and Quentin Grimes (11 off the bench) as well.

The Magic are an excellent defensive team. One of the top 5 in the league. Philadelphia has 72 points on them in the first half. Impressive stuff. #Sixers

VJ Edgecombe with the casual rookie-level finish*, of course! * holy crap this kid is good.

tough bucket from the rook. 💪

Kelly Oubre Jr. has been phenomenal tonight. 16 points on 7/9 shooting and he's 2/4 from deep. He has been all over the place for Philadelphia in this one. #Sixers

poetry in motion.

Quentin Grimes up to 11 points off the bench already after hitting his third 3PT tonight 😮‍💨

rese doing rese things.

Sixers vs. Magic first-quarter box

I can’t overstate how big of a deal it is that Edgecombe is showing this kind of stuff in his third pro game. These are shots VJ simply did not take at Baylor
