Paul George, Deep Bench Carry Embiid‑Less 76ers to 116-101 Road Win Over Bucks

George's fourth-quarter control showcased tangible progress in his post-surgery ramp-up.

Overview

  • George posted 20 points, five rebounds and five assists, closing with six points, four boards and two assists after telling Tyrese Maxey he would finish the game.
  • Philadelphia's reserves supplied 61 points, led by Quentin Grimes with 22 on six three-pointers and Jabari Walker with 18, with VJ Edgecombe and Adem Bona adding 10 apiece.
  • Maxey had a season-low 12 points as Milwaukee targeted him, but he contributed four steals and a block, ending his run of 21 straight 20-point games.
  • Joel Embiid rested on the second night of a back-to-back as the Sixers improved to 13-9 and moved to 2-0 in Milwaukee this season.
  • The Bucks were without Giannis Antetokounmpo due to a calf strain, and AJ Green left with a left shoulder contusion and did not return.
