Tyrese Maxey scored 32 points and Joel Embiid added 27 in his return as the 76ers dominated the paint 82-52, shooting 58% overall in a decisive win.

  • In Indianapolis on Tuesday night, the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Indiana Pacers 135-114 as Tyrese Maxey scored 32 points and Joel Embiid added 27 in his return.
  • With key Pacers absences and turnovers, the Philadelphia 76ers dominated inside with an 82-52 paint advantage while Embiid's presence improved shot quality and spacing.
  • A 17-0 run to open the second quarter flipped momentum as the Pacers missed their first 10 shots, and the Sixers led 106-85 after three quarters.
  • The win improved the Philadelphia 76ers to 32-26 and sixth place in the East, while the Indiana Pacers fell to 135-114 and lost four straight since the All-Star break.
  • Beyond the box score, Maxey's growth as a midrange and drive-first scorer expands his offense, and he will soon pass Allen Iverson for the Sixers' career threes record.
