Coming off their worst loss of the season in Charlotte, the Philadelphia 76ers needed Paul George and Joel Embiid to deliver against the Giannis-less Milwaukee Bucks on the second half of a back-to-back. After all, Embiid and George did not play in the disastrous first half of the back-to-back for the Sixers. Embiid responded with 24 points in the first half, while George made the most 3-pointers he ever has in a Sixers uniform (nine), en route to 32 points. Doc Rivers’ return to Philly was unhappy one, as the Sixers beat the Bucks 139-122. The other big story of the night for Philadelphia: After struggling for most of this season, Jared McCain went 5-6 from beyond the arc. Rich Hofmann and Kyle Neubeck break it all down on the PHLY Sixers Podcast.
