Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeckAnother MVP-level Embiid game, a critical coaching adjustment, a second-quarter flurry from Maxey, and perhaps Niang’s game of the season. Terrific game: phillyvoice.com/sixers-bucks-i… – 11:06 PM Lauren Rosen @LaurenMRosen
SIXERS WIN IN MILWAUKEE.
Embiid: 42 PTS / 14 REB / 5 AST
Harris: 19 PTS / 8 REB / 4 AST

Niang: 18 PTS / 6 REB / 2 AST

and to think the sixers don’t even have james harden coming off the bench to back up tyrese maxey yet – 11:03 PM Gina Mizell @ginamizell
FINAL: Sixers 123, Bucks 120. Heck of a win for the Sixers heading into the break. Embiid 42-15-5. Harris and Maxey both with 19 points. Niang with 18 points (5-of-10 from 3) and 6 boards in his start.

Maxey gets one of the worst whistles in the league. I hate the fact that you need clout or some sort of status to earn your calls in the NBA. Kuminga gets hammered all the time too and the refs swallow there whistle. – 10:15 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Tyrese Maxey playing outside until he gotta go stand in a corner starting next week. I respect it – 9:46 PM Lauren Rosen @LaurenMRosen
The @Philadelphia 76ers lead, 69-61, at half.
Embiid: 22 PTS / 8 REB / 2 AST
Maxey: 16 PTS / 2 REB / 4 AST
Harris: 12 PTS / 4 REB / 2 AST
Absolute show from the ever-improving Embiid/Maxey combo to close the first half. This one’s fun. 🍿 – 9:33 PM Gina Mizell @ginamizell
What a close by the Sixers, who lead the Bucks 69-61 at the half after trailing by 12 in the second quarter. Embiid with 22 on 8-of-12 shooting and eight rebounds. Maxey with 16.
(Meanwhile the first leg of our flight to Cleveland tomorrow morning has been cancelled wheeeee!) – 9:33 PM Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Just an absolute clinic from Embiid and Maxey to end that half. – 9:31 PM Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey are having huge efforts here in the 2nd quarter and Philadelphia will carry a 69-61 lead over the Bucks into the half. Embiid has 22 and 8 and Maxey has 16 after a slow start for him. #Sixers – 9:31 PM Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Tyrese Maxey is so damn good. – 9:28 PM Jon Johnson @jonjohnsonwip
Harden playing coach with Maxey is awesome. – 9:27 PM Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
A little flurry from Tyrese Maxey brings Philadelphia to a tie at 55 late in the 1st half. Maxey was scoreless, but he now has 11 points. #Sixers – 9:27 PM Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Young Maxey is doing this against perhaps the best 1-on-1 guard defender in the league. Impressive stuff. – 9:26 PM Lauren Rosen @LaurenMRosen
National audience,
Meet Tyrese Maxey. – 9:26 PM Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Great lift from here Maxey, who just got to the cup for the and-1 after hitting a 3 to cut the Bucks’ lead to 55-53 with less than three to play in the first half. He’s up to 11 points and two assists. – 9:26 PM Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
James Harden yelling “THANK YOU! THANK YOU!” at Tyrese Maxey from the bench after that and-one layup – 9:26 PM Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
The Bucks lead 27-24 after one quarter. Embiid (12) Harris (10) and Maxey (2) combined to score all 24 of the Sixers points. Harris and Embiid both shot 5-9, while their teammates combined to shoot 0-for-7. #NeedAlittleHelpFlow – 9:00 PM Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
#CoachHardenFlow James Harden stood up from the bench, called over Tyrese Maxey and coached up the second-year point guard during a break in action. – 8:46 PM Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
