Philadelphia 76ers get their first victory of the season in a thrilling OT win vs. Indiana Pacers Without Joel Embiid and Paul George, the 76ers’ bench would have to step up accordingly.

The 76ers were fueled by Tyrese Maxey, who scored a career high of 45 points. He has been a huge game-changer for the team, courtesy his lightening quick scoring and adrenaline-pumping end to match performances. The 76ers’ bench even played an important role as players like Georges Niang and DeAnthony Melton began to get increased minutes due to injured stars.

Tyrese Haliburton and the rest of his Indiana Pacers teammates kept trying to fight back, but never got over the hump. While Haliburton held his own, Maxey was nearly unstoppable as the Pacers struggled to slow down him from getting hot.
As early as it is, that was a big win for the Sixers to help get some momentum and confidence going in this season. It also showed that, even with the injuries, they have enough talent and depth to compete toe-to-toe against some of the best in East.
