Tyrese Maxey followed his stellar game against the Lakers with a 30-point outing as the still-shorthanded Sixers pulled away for the win.
On the second night of a back-to-back, with tired legs and the Kings waiting to pounce, the Sixers scrapped their way to a 117-104 win. Tyrese Maxey once
Tyrese Maxey supplied 30 points and eight assists to guide the host Philadelphia 76ers to their fourth straight win, a 117-104 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday.
Don’t look now but the Sixers have swept consecutive back-to-backs and tied a season high with their fourth straight win over the Kings Wednesday.
Outside of the off-court noise, the Kings are still a very capable team. Domantas Sabonis remains one of the best bigs in the NBA, and will have plenty of room and size to work with against the short (handed) Sixers. Outside of the Fox-Sabonis duo, they have plenty of scoring options with DeMar DeRozan, Malik Monk and Keegan Murray.
Maxey gives reason for observers to believe in the Sixers if Embiid is healthy and returns to the lineup, citing how they played well in December when they had their three-star lineup.

Eric Gordon (14 points on 5-for-8 shooting) put the Sixers up 33-32 early in the second quarter with one of his characteristically deep threes. The 36-year-old’s level of play has dramatically improved the last three weeks. He’s shot 34 for 64 (53.1 percent) from three-point territory over his past 12 games.
