Paul George, Tyrese Maxey share a moment after the big win over Bucks
The Philadelphia 76ers made a statement with a win Friday night, knocking off the Milwaukee Bucks 116-101 on the road at Fiserv Forum. The moment that grabbed the headlines came after the game, when 76ers forward Paul George shared a light but meaningful exchange with the fellow star Tyrese McKay. The chemistry and steady confidence between the duo framed a night where the presence of veterans was fused with ever-increasing energy.
During the postgame interview, George reflected on his health and consistency as his point guard entered the box with a smile. The video, which the organization posted on X (formerly known as Twitter), caught the moment perfectly before George spoke about his way of thinking.
“I’m blessed to be healthy and just trying to put games together.”
The nine-time All-Star forward’s quote resonated through the fan base and reinforced a theme that has carried the Sixers early in the season. After a tough stretch without Joel Embiid, the team relied on depth instead of star power. Quentin Grimes scored 22 points off the bench and Jabari Walker added 18 for a strong first half.
George finished with 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, showing real poise as the Bucks threatened late. His tempo control in the final minutes helped solidify a lineup that had been benched for much of the night. Makey, limited to 12 pointswent into full facilitator mode and knocked down a key jumper with less than four minutes remaining to stop Milwaukee’s push. The 76ers’ game against the Bucks once again highlighted the Sixers’ depth, with young contributors such as rookie VJ Edgecombe closing in on the defensive end and making a game-winning play on the road.
The win moved Philadelphia to 13-9 and highlighted a team that is striving for sustained form. Between George’s leadership and Maxie’s maturity, this group continues to deliver consistent flashes that suggest a growing championship identity.
