On a night those near them in the Eastern Conference standings drew easier assignments, the Sixers overcame a low-scoring first half to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves, 115-103. For a change, it was Philadelphia laying the smackdown in the third quarter, outscoring the Wolves in the period, 42-24. That effort flipped a six-point halftime deficit and proved just enough to hold on for the victory. As a result, the Sixers maintained their spot in sixth place in the East, with Toronto and Charlotte both winning behind them. Things could change when Philadelphia is right back at it on Saturday night against Detroit, but let\u2019s focus for now on Friday night\u2019s Bell Ringer nominees.<\/p>\n
Paul George: 23 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, 6 turnovers<\/p>\n
For those arguing that the league should shorten the number of games in the regular season, they could point to how much better Paul George looks with 25 fewer contests on the schedule. Coming off his suspension, PG has been a new man, wreaking havoc on both ends of the court with a spring in his step. George almost singlehandedly kept the Sixers hanging around in the first half, scoring 15 points when no teammate had more than five. His stepback jumper off the dribble against Donte DiVincenzo was some vintage And 1 mixtape stuff. Highlighting his great defensive work, George picked Ayo Dosunmu\u2019s pocket with around one minute left in the game to help seal the victory.<\/p>\n
Kelly Oubre Jr.: 21 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 0 turnovers<\/p>\n
For one night, Jhoan Duran was not the best closer in Philadelphia. With the Wolves threatening to make a game of it with two minutes remaining, Oubre took Julius Randle off the dribble from the top of the key and converted an and-one play. Less than a minute later, he sank a huge catch-and-shoot three from the corner to make it a three-possession game again. On the following possession, he sank the nail in the coffin three from the top of the arc. Overall, Oubre was 4-of-6 from behind the arc. It\u2019s such a huge boost on nights when he\u2019s hitting his outside shots given what he brings to the table in all the other aspects of the game.<\/p>\n
Tyrese Maxey: 21 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 blocks, 3 turnovers<\/p>\n
It was a quieter night than most for Tyrese, but he still found a lot of ways to contribute to the victory. Maxey was the catalyst in the third-quarter turnaround, scoring 17 points and five assists in the period. Tyrese attacked from all levels, nailing a three from a couple feet behind the arc, knocking down a mid-range jumper, and getting into the paint for a few buckets. On one, he converted a lefty floater off the dribble that felt like a new tool on his belt. Maxey also made two great blocks to recover from behind on drives from Bones Hyland and Ayo Dosunmu in what was an efficient, two-way performance from the star guard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2025-26 Sixers Bell Ringer season standings: Tyrese Maxey \u2013 22.5VJ Edgecombe \u2013 12Joel Embiid \u2013 10.5Paul George \u2013…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":697312,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3782],"tags":[7,307,152,3954,6,42915,308],"class_list":{"0":"post-697311","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-minnesota-timberwolves","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-minnesota","10":"tag-minnesota-timberwolves","11":"tag-minnesotatimberwolves","12":"tag-nba","13":"tag-sixers-scores","14":"tag-timberwolves"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116344832817883795","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/697311","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=697311"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/697311\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/697312"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=697311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=697311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=697311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
