In a commanding performance, Tobias Harris showcased his scoring prowess with 37 points, leading the Philadelphia 76ers (24-13) to a resounding 112-93 victory over the Sacramento Kings (23-15) on Friday night.
The versatile forward not only dazzled on the offensive end but also delivered a standout defensive effort, successfully containing Sacramento’s Domantas Sabonis, who was limited to 14 points.
With reigning NBA MVP Joel Embiid sidelined due to left knee soreness for the third consecutive game, Harris stepped up alongside Tyrese Maxey, who contributed 21 points, as the 76ers snapped a three-game losing streak.
Nicolas Batum scored 14 points on a perfect 5-for-5 shooting from the field, providing crucial support in the absence of key players.
Despite De’Aaron Fox’s 21 points for the Kings, the Sixers’ dominance, particularly in the second quarter, proved insurmountable for Sacramento.
