Tyrese Maxey's 30 Points Propel 76ers Past Kings, 117-104

Tyrese Maxey delivered an impressive performance, scoring 30 points and contributing eight assists in the Philadelphia 76ers' 117-104 victory over the Sacramento Kings, marking their fourth consecutive win. This victory came after a seven-game losing streak, with Kelly Oubre Jr. and Eric Gordon also making notable contributions. The Kings struggled to keep pace despite Malik Monk's 21 points and Domantas Sabonis' impressive triple-double. In a subsequent matchup against the Denver Nuggets, Maxey scored 42 points, but the Sixers fell short in a thrilling 137-134 loss, snapping their winning streak. The game showcased a high-scoring duel, particularly between Maxey and Nuggets' Nikola Jokic, who played a crucial role in securing the win for Denver. Coach Nick Nurse expressed hope that his team would carry a similar motivation into the game against the Nuggets after previous losses.
