Solid 1st half for the Sixers as they take an 8 pt lead into halftime.

Maxey lighting it up for a game high 18. Tobias having another rough start with 3pts, 0 - 3 from the field.

Tobias hits a trey early in the 3rd, but then misses in the paint, misses a tech FT, turns the ball over leading to a Bucks basket and then dribbles out most of the shot clock and forces Lowry to heave up a bad 3.

Bamba should be a much better rim protector than he is.

This kid Jones they will sign tomorrow is an amazing rim protecting shot blocker. The question is how fast can he get up to speed and will Nurse trust him or just throw caution to the wind and play him anyway since Bamba is a failure in crunch time. He was useless on both ends. Frankly? I'd cut Bamba if this kid even has a pulse on defense. Sign Nerlens.

This was a winnable game.

Not enough support for Maxey (30 pts) who ran out of gas trying to carry the offense. Tobias finally got it going, but it was too little too late.
