76ers Outlast Spurs in Double Overtime Thriller

Maxey's 52 Points Lead Philadelphia to Victory

In a thrilling double-overtime battle, the Philadelphia 76ers emerged victorious over the San Antonio Spurs, winning 133-126 on April 7, 2024. Despite the absence of star center Joel Embiid due to a knee injury, the 76ers were led by an inspired performance from Tyrese Maxey, who poured in a career-high 52 points.

Embiid's absence left a significant void in Philadelphia's frontcourt, but Maxey stepped up in a big way. The 22-year-old guard was unstoppable on offense, shooting 19-of-31 from the field and 7-of-13 from three-point range. His aggressive playmaking and ability to create his own shot proved to be too much for the Spurs to handle.

Embiid's Franchise Record

In the end, the 76ers' victory was even more impressive considering the record-breaking performance they had just witnessed from their absent superstar. The night before, Embiid made history by scoring a franchise-record 70 points in a 133-123 win over the San Antonio. His dominant display was the most points scored by any player in the NBA this season.

Game Information

The Philadelphia 76ers, now 44-35 on the season, will look to continue their momentum in their next game against the San Antonio Spurs, who are currently 19-59.
