Overview

  • Philadelphia led wire to wire, built a first-half margin of 23 points and swept the two-game season series at the Intuit Dome.
  • Tyrese Maxey scored 29 points with seven three-pointers, while Dominick Barlow posted a career-high 26 points and 16 rebounds, including 10 on the offensive glass.
  • Barlow became the first Sixer with at least 25 points and 10 offensive rebounds since Charles Barkley in 1990, highlighting his emergence in Paul George’s 25-game suspension absence.
  • Joel Embiid added 24 points while managing a right ankle issue, and the Sixers improved to 11-10 in games without George this season.
  • The Clippers played without James Harden for a second straight game for personal reasons, with coach Tyronn Lue saying he was in Phoenix, as media reports described developing trade talks involving Cleveland guard Darius Garland; Los Angeles’ loss halted a five-game home streak but they are 17-5 since Dec. 20.
