Portland: The Sixers had a pretty smooth night against the Trail Blazers, winning 125-103. It was a nice change of pace for them, especially with a four-game winning streak now.
Joel Embiid was on fire, scoring a season-high 37 points and grabbing nine rebounds. Tyrese Maxey also stepped up, adding 23 points. They were super efficient, combining for 60 points on just 34 shots.
Kelly Oubre Jr. was a standout too, scoring 15 points and snagging a career-high eight steals. He was just one steal away from tying the Sixers’ record for most steals in a game. It’s been a while since anyone on the team had that many steals!
Despite missing five players due to injuries, the Sixers managed to keep their momentum going. They’re looking to keep the good vibes rolling when they face the Kings next.
Maxey was a key player, scoring 11 points in the first quarter alone. He’s been consistent lately, hitting the 20-point mark in nine straight games. It’s impressive how he’s been able to keep that up.
On the other hand, Paul George had a tough night with foul trouble again. He only played 23 minutes and couldn’t really get into a rhythm. It’s a bummer for him, especially when he’s trying to find his groove.
Oubre’s energy was contagious. He was all over the court, making plays and keeping the Blazers on their toes. His hustle really made a difference, and the team fed off that energy.
Overall, it was a solid win for the Sixers. They played well together and showed they can handle the pressure, even with a few key players out. Here’s hoping they keep it up!
