Philadelphia held a seven-point lead at intermission before the Pacers pulled even at 64 in the third. But a 25-13 gave the Sixers an 89-77 lead entering the fourth quarter, and they held on for the win.
Tyrese Maxey was one of five players in double figures for the Sixers. He scored a team-high 32 points, along with eight rebounds and five assists. Paul George added 21 points and five rebounds.
On the other side, the Bucks snapped a two-game skid with a 125-108 victory against the Brooklyn Nets.
Milwaukee raced out to a 14-point lead after the first quarter and never looked back. And thanks to a 3-point barrage in which the team converted 24 of its 48 attempts, the Bucks cruised to an easy win.
All five of Milwaukee's starters tallied double-digit scoring totals. AJ Green led the way with 35 points, five rebounds, and four assists. He shot 11 of 16 from long range. Cormac Ryan finished with 28 points, converting five of his nine attempts from beyond the arc.
Here's a look at what you need to know for both teams ahead of this contest.
The Sixers have a 3-2 edge in the previous five meetings in this series, and Milwaukee is winless in its last five road outings. In a meaningless game for both teams, the edge goes to Philadelphia.
