Bench-Fueled 76ers Roll Past Short-Handed Bucks, 116-101 in Milwaukee

Philadelphia leaned on depth on the second night of a back-to-back to ride a 61-point bench lift.

Overview

  • Quentin Grimes scored 22 points and Paul George added 20 as Philadelphia led the way with Tyrese Maxey held to 12.
  • The reserves produced 61 points, with Jabari Walker delivering 18 off the bench and knocking down four three-pointers.
  • Philadelphia started fast by shooting 60% in the first quarter and going 6-of-13 from three in the second to lead 69-49 at halftime and by as many as 26.
  • Milwaukee was without Giannis Antetokounmpo, and AJ Green left with a left shoulder contusion in the second quarter and did not return.
  • The Bucks trimmed the gap to single digits late before the Sixers closed it out, with Kyle Lowry providing steady first-half minutes and VJ Edgecombe hitting a clinching three.
