Well, if you\u2019re only going to play well for like five minutes, the last five minutes of the game are probably the best time to do it.<\/p>\n
The Sixers played with their food all night but still came away with a 113-104 win over the Indiana Pacers Monday night.<\/p>\n
Tyrese Maxey again didn\u2019t live up to the All-Star starter status he had just earned for most of the night, but he did have a career-high eight steals and got going in the fourth to finish with 29 points shooting 12-of-24 from the floor. Joel Embiid cooled off after a scorching first quarter, but also found it again in the fourth, leading all scorers with 30 points and nine rebounds on 10-of-17 shooting.<\/p>\n
VJ Edgecombe didn\u2019t make a field goal in the first half but got his coveted poster in the second, putting up 11 shooting 3-of-9 from the floor. Kelly Oubre Jr. started in place of Paul George and had his best scoring output since returning from injury, going for 18 on 8-of-14 shooting while Andrew Nembhard led the Pacers with 25.<\/p>\n
On the front end of a back-to-back, PG was ruled out for this one with left knee injury management while the Pacers were without Bennedict Mathurin, Obi Toppin and, obviously, Tyrese Haliburton.<\/p>\n
