PHLY Sixers Postgame: Paul George, Tyrese Maxey carry Sixers in road win Dec 17, 2024

Show notes

Thanks to incredible shooting performances from Tyrese Maxey (40 points) and Paul George (33), the Philadelphia 76ers hung on to defeat the Charlotte Hornets 121-108. It is the 5th win in the last seven games for the Sixers, who improved to 8-16 on the season.

The Sixers built up a large lead late in the third quarter and looked to be on their way to an easy victory, but the Hornets came roaring back with a 10-0 run to start the 4th, eventually cutting the Sixers’ once 21-point lead all the way down to 4. The Sixers were able to stabilize down the stretch, thanks in large part to Paul George, who finished with the first 30-point outing of his Philadelphia career.
