2025-26 Sixers Bell Ringer standings:
Tyrese Maxey \u2013 19
Joel Embiid \u2013 7
VJ Edgecombe \u2013 6
Paul George \u2013 6
Dominick Barlow \u2013 2
Andre Drummond \u2013 2
Jared McCain \u2013 2
Adem Bona \u2013 1
Justin Edwards \u2013 1
Quentin Grimes \u2013 1
Kelly Oubre Jr. \u2013 1
Trendon Watford \u2013 1
15th roster spot \u2013 1<\/p>\n

The Sixers extended their win streak to five games after their 113- 94 victory in Golden State.<\/p>\n

They were without Joel Embiid (injury management) and Paul George (suspended). The Warriors were without the services of Stephen Curry (knee), Jonathan Kuminga (knee) and Jimmy Butler (ACL).<\/p>\n

The Sixers dominated for most of the game, with the Warriors getting it close in the middle quarters following a 17-2 run.<\/p>\n

The Sixers\u2019 bench unit was crucial in picking up the slack for a poor Tyrese Maxey shooting night (prior to the fourth quarter).<\/p>\n

A lot of guys contributed, including a magnificent stretch of minutes from Adem Bona and better shooting from Quentin Grimes, but two guys stood out above the rest for Bell Ringer consideration.<\/p>\n

VJ Edgecombe: 25 points, 11-of-20 FG, 2-of-7, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals<\/p>\n

Edgecombe bounced back from a tough night against the Clippers with an elevated offensive performance. He felt comfortable from inside the paint Tuesday, operating in the midrange to his pull-up and converting through contact in the paint.<\/p>\n

In the first he kicked off his scoring with a step-back up jumper going left and cut through the defense with a slithering layup in traffic.<\/p>\n

In the second, the rookie blew past Al Horford for a layup and hit a pull-up three over Draymond Green.<\/p>\n

In the third frame, after drawing a foul on Horford and making 1-of-2, he crossed up De\u2019Anthony Melton and finished a difficult layup through Green in the paint. On the next possession, he hit a catch-and-shoot three.<\/p>\n

He continued his attack in the fourth with more tough buckets against a lackluster defensive effort from Golden State.<\/p>\n

He had a possession against Bahamian national team teammate Buddy Hield, whom he took all the way to the cup for a left handed finish \u2026 with some trash talk to top it off.<\/p>\n

Another veteran-like performance for the Sixers\u2019 first-round pick.<\/p>\n

Trendon Watford: 16 points, 7-of-13, 1-of-2, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks<\/p>\n

Watford was extremely valuable for the Sixers\u2019 offense against the Warriors. His point-forward ability gave the Sixers an extended period in the first half to rest Maxey. In that time, the Sixers went on a 20-4 run to extend a double-digit lead.<\/p>\n

It does not always look pretty, but his effectiveness as a driver helped the Sixers reserves keep pace with the bench unit of Golden State.<\/p>\n

He would add a couple buckets throughout the second half through aggressive drives and conversions in the paint, including a deep three in the fourth to extend the lead to over 20 points with just a few minutes remaining.<\/p>\n

His playmaking ability was a constant presence on a night where Maxey did not have his full offensive arsenal working.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2025-26 Sixers Bell Ringer standings:Tyrese Maxey \u2013 19Joel Embiid \u2013 7VJ Edgecombe \u2013 6Paul George \u2013 6Dominick Barlow…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":581422,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3769],"tags":[679,7,6,678,207,3817,42915],"class_list":{"0":"post-581421","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia-76ers","8":"tag-76ers","9":"tag-basketball","10":"tag-nba","11":"tag-philadelphia","12":"tag-philadelphia-76ers","13":"tag-philadelphia76ers","14":"tag-sixers-scores"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116011315810214623","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581421","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=581421"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581421\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/581422"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=581421"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=581421"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=581421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
