George scores 32 and Embiid has 29 to lead 76ers past short-handed Bucks 139-122
PHILADELPHIA -- — Paul George scored 32 points, Joel Embiid had 18 of his 29 points in the first quarter and the Philadelphia 76ers rolled to a 139-122 victory over the short-handed Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night.
Tyrese Maxey added 22 points for the 76ers, who were blown out a night earlier at Charlotte with Embiid and George sidelined.
Myles Turner scored 31 points for Milwaukee, which lost its third straight and sixth of seven. Two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo sat out with a right calf strain that the team said will sideline him indefinitely .
George hit back-to-back 3-pointers early in the fourth quarter to help the 76ers extend their 11-point lead to start the period to 18 points. In their 130-93 loss to the Hornets , the Sixers trailed by 50 points entering the fourth.
The game at Charlotte was rescheduled to 3 p.m. EDT because of winter weather, but the Sixers still didn't make it back to Philadelphia until after 1 a.m. Tuesday.
But the return of Embiid and George, who both sat Monday for injury management, provided a jolt of energy for the Sixers. Maxey found Embiid for an alley-oop dunk late in the first half and Maxey jumped up and down with excitement as both players smiled toward Bucks coach Doc Rivers, who led the Sixers for three seasons.
George made 11 of 21 shots, including 9 of 15 3-pointers. Embiid added nine rebounds and five assists.
Ryan Rollins scored 24 points for the Bucks, Bobby Portis had 17 points and 12 rebounds, and Kyle Kuzma also scored 17.
In addition to Antetokounmpo, the Bucks were without Kevin Porter Jr . (right oblique) and Taurean Prince (neck surgery). Philadelphia’s Quentin Grimes (right ankle sprain) also was sidelined.
