New: This week’s Friday film is done and unlocked! It’s my favorite one of the season so far: • The best game of Tyrese Maxey’s career • Jared McCain making strides • Paul George swings a game and shows some burst • Quentin Grimes on being a closer www.phillyvoice.com/sixers-news-...

Will have Friday film later today, and Tyrese Maxey’s career night is leading that. But there’s more depth on his overall season in here from last night, plus Paul George swinging the game and more:

On Tyrese Maxey staging another superstar showing and the value of his in-between scoring on top of his unmatched combination of speed and pull-up shooting... Plus: Paul George was awesome tonight. Sixers don't win without him, either. Crazy one. Tap in! www.phillyvoice.com/sixers-vs-bu...

Tyrese Maxey scores 54 points in 46 minutes in Milwaukee the night after playing 40 minutes in Philadelphia as the Sixers beat the Bucks. True superstar shit from Maxey. Paul George was also great. Dominick Barlow at the five a whole lot tonight, it worked out fine. Story coming.

Big-time jumper from the free throw line for Justin Edwards at the end of the shot clock. His favorite shot to get to off the dribble.

Andre Drummond fouls out with 2:49 left. It'll likely be Maxey, Edgecombe, Grimes, Edwards and Barlow from here. Sixers lead by three.

Make that a 50-piece for Tyrese Maxey. Doc Rivers calls timeout with the Sixers up by five points. His in-between scoring has been ridiculous tonight, which will be the main focus of the Maxey section in my postgame story. Lefty floater there.

Justin Edwards finally connects on a big three, this one from the corner to kick off overtime scoring.

Overtime in Milwaukee. The Sixers brought in Paul George for the final defensive possession, but I would guess it'll be back to Justin Edwards (or someone else other than George) for overtime. Quentin Grimes got the stop on Ryan Rollins.

Tyrese Maxey is doing everything he can to will the Sixers to victory with Paul George seemingly at his minutes limit. Bucks will have a chance to win it, with the Sixers one stop away from overtime.

Tyrese Maxey will shoot two free throws looking to tie the game with seven seconds left. Bucks have a timeout.

Tyrese Maxey got rushed and turned it over, then Myles Turner gave the Bucks the lead with 14.8 seconds left. Sixers down by two. This would be another killer loss.

Just ridiculous that Tyrese is this good now. He has 46 points. Sixers lead.

Big challenge for Nick Nurse, swinging a Tyrese Maxey charge into a Tyrese Maxey and-one. Ryan Rollins was in the restricted area. Maxey hits the free throw to put the Sixers up by six with four minutes left.

Justin Edwards replaced Paul George inside of five minutes. George is at 25 minutes, not sure if he has any left. Maxey, Edgecombe, Grimes, Edwards and Barlow out there.

Paul George notches his second steal of the night and Tyrese Maxey finds VJ Edgecombe for a lob. Sixers now up by five points with as many minutes left in this one.

Just a bonkers opening to the fourth quarter for Tyrese Maxey. He has 40 points and the Sixers have the lead. Just hit a 31-footer.

Tyrese Maxey has not sat since returning at the 5:38 mark of the second quarter of this game. Played the entire third quarter and is out there to start the fourth. Played 39 minutes last night.

After three: Sixers 77, Bucks 81. Tyrese Maxey continues to play ridiculous basketball, including a stellar defensive quarter there. Paul George has also been very good, but somebody else has to give the Sixers some offensive juice.

Andre Drummond has five fouls three minutes into the third quarter. Big moments coming for Dominick Barlow and Jabari Walker.

Nick Nurse sticks with his starting lineup to begin the third quarter.

Halftime: Sixers 55, Bucks 57 A brutal second quarter for the Sixers, outscored 37-22 after a strong opening act. 23 points for Tyrese Maxey to lead all scorers, but outside of his efforts all the Sixers have gotten of note offensively was Paul George's early eruption.

An interesting lineup here, with three guys tag-teaming point guard duties: Edgecombe, Edwards, George, Watford, Drummond

Jared McCain grabs a defensive rebound, brings the ball up and drives past Gary Trent Jr. for a lefty layup. Hugely encouraging play.

This lineup is on the wrong side of a 10-0 run to begin the second quarter. Timeout Nick Nurse.

On nights with the Sixers at full strength, this opening lineup in the second quarter is one I think they can/should rely on. Enables Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey to stay together more often. McCain, Edgecombe, Grimes, George and Drummond are the five.

After one: Sixers 33, Bucks 20 Jared McCain hits a three to end the first quarter. Got a friendly bounce after a pass from Tyrese Maxey. Big smile for McCain. 12 points for Maxey to lead all scorers, Paul George right behind him with 11. Sixers turned the Bucks over six times.

Tyrese Maxey steal, Tyrese Maxey layup, Tyrese Maxey steal, Quentin Grimes three. Sixers suddenly up 30-17.

Sixers are up 20-13 after nine minutes in Cream City. Paul George scored 11 points, then assisted a VJ Edgecombe dunk before Tyrese Maxey scored seven in a row.

Hell of a 5:44 stint for Paul George, who scored the Sixers' first 11 points on their opening four possessions and then assisted their only other basket. Sixers have only allowed six points.

Dominick Barlow was at the scorer's table when Doc Rivers called timeout, but is not in the game out of the break. The Sixers' first non-Paul George points belong to VJ Edgecombe, who threw down an alley-oop slam off a pass from... Paul George.

Paul George scored 11 points on the first four Sixers possessions. Hit Kuzma with a nasty step-back on the fifth but missed the three.

Paul George has eight points across the Sixers' first three possessions. Layup, three, three.

Paul George beats Myles Turner off the dribble and finishes through contact to begin tonight's action. Sixers have VJ Edgecombe on Ryan Rollins and Justin Edwards on Kyle Kuzma, George defends Bobby Portis and Tyrese Maxey will chase AJ Green around.

Sixers two-way statuses tonight @ Milwaukee, I am told: ACTIVE: Dominick Barlow, Jabari Walker INACTIVE: Hunter Sallis Sixers have 63 games of two-way availability left while under 15 players. Walker has 35 games left, Sallis has 44 games left and Barlow has 44 games left.

Who is in and who is out for the Sixers tonight as they face the Giannis Antetokounmpo-less Bucks in Milwaukee? www.phillyvoice.com/sixers-vs-bu...

So, it appears Jared McCain is cleared for back-to-backs, which is good news. Tyrese Maxey’s full designation is “tight quadricep contusion.” Still the right knee injury management tag for Embiid.

The Sixers have an injury report for tonight's game @ Milwaukee: Joel Embiid – right knee — OUT Kelly Oubre Jr. – left knee – OUT Adem Bona – right ankle – OUT Tyrese Maxey — right quad — PROBABLE Paul George is not listed. Jared McCain is AVAILABLE.

Some Sixers team stats rankings through 14 games... Offensive Rating: 117.6 (8th) Defensive Rating: 115.7 (19th) Net Rating: +1.9 (15th) REB%: 51.1 (11th) OREB%: 34.1 (7th) DREB%: 68.1 (18th) TOV%: 14.7 (13th) AST%: 61.3 (21st) TS%: 58.4 (16th) PACE: 99.72 (26th)

Nick Nurse says he isn’t sure about the availability of Joel Embiid or Paul George tomorrow night in Milwaukee.

Nick Nurse gives Toronto credit for giving the Sixers fits offensively, but says “I think we contributed” more to their own struggles.

Nick Nurse on the third quarter: “A lot of bad… It was a bad start and then a bunch of turnovers… Set the tone for a really bad quarter.”

Sixers rode a Maxey-Edgecombe-Grimes-Walker-Drummond lineup in the fourth quarter, and it was great. But a 44-26 third quarter in favor of the Raptors sunk the Sixers to 8-6. Story to come.

The lead is down to four with 90 seconds left. This team really just never goes away.

Quentin Grimes is having another amazing fourth quarter. Lead is down to three points with five minutes left.

The Sixers call a timeout after Tyrese Maxey hits the deck. I did not see what happened; Andre Drummond seemed to think Brandon Ingram had something to do with it. Maxey walked back to the huddle under his own power and for now does not seem to be going to the locker room.

There is life in the building as Andre Drummond steals and scores. Lead is down to seven with 8:08 left. Are they going to do it again?

VJ stands for VHecanjump Jveryhigh. Sixers have cut the lead to 11 on a dunk by the rookie. Timeout Toronto.

After three: Raptors 97, Sixers 82. Another disastrous third quarter from the Sixers, whose constant turnovers sunk them to the tune of a 44-26 frame in favor of Toronto. Sixers' offense was the biggest issue in that frame, they could never get their defense set.
