Key Player Performances
Maxey showcased excellent range, consistently threatening from distance with his seven three-pointers. Barlow’s double-double supported the Sixers’ offensive edge, while Embiid’s 24 points signalled further recovery from his recent injury setback. The 76ers controlled the game from the outset, establishing a commanding lead and entering halftime up 72-53, having surged ahead by as many as 23 points.
The Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard led the home side with 29 points, displaying his athleticism with two dunks and a three-pointer in the final period. Despite his efforts, and 21 points off the bench from Jordan Miller, the Clippers failed to muster a significant rally, and Leonard finished the match on the bench. Coach Tyronn Lue confirmed that James Harden, who missed his second consecutive game due to personal reasons, was at home in Phoenix.
| Team | Top Scorer | Other Standouts | Half-time Score | Final Score |

| Philadelphia 76ers | Tyrese Maxey (29) | Dominick Barlow (26 pts, 16 reb); Joel Embiid (24 pts) | 72 | 128 |

Game Flow and Team Updates
Even with Leonard’s fourth quarter surge, the Clippers saw no answer for Philadelphia’s balanced attack and trailed throughout the night. The Sixers withstood a 34-28 third quarter from Los Angeles, maintaining a double-digit cushion as Maxey, Barlow and Embiid combined for 22 points during that period. Philadelphia, now 11-10 without the suspended Paul George, kept their momentum despite missing key personnel.
Looking ahead, the 76ers are set to travel for a back-to-back fixture against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night, while the Clippers return home to face the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night as they continue their push to clinch a play-in spot after an 8-3 run over their previous 11 games.
