Tyrese Maxey led the Philadelphia 76ers past the Sacramento Kings with 30 points in a 117-104 victory on Wednesday night.
The 76ers (19-27) extended their winning streak to four games, tying their season high. Maxey recorded his 12th consecutive game with at least 25 points, adding eight assists.
Kelly Oubre Jr. contributed 15 points, while Eric Gordon scored 14 and Ricky Council IV had 13 off the bench. Philadelphia capitalized on their depth, with the reserves combining for 37 points.
Sacramento (24-23) struggled in the fourth quarter, scoring just 17 points as the game slipped away. Malik Monk had 21 points, including 16 in the first half.
Domantas Sabonis recorded his second straight triple-double and eighth of the season, finishing with 13 points, 14 rebounds, and 11 assists. De’Aaron Fox added 19 points amid trade speculation.
The Kings started strong, leading 30-28 after the first quarter behind Monk’s early scoring surge. However, the 76ers responded with a 32-point second quarter to take control.
Maxey fueled Philadelphia’s offense, attacking the rim and creating open looks for his teammates. The 76ers shot 52.4% from the field and 41.4% from beyond the arc.
Council IV and Kyle Lowry played key roles off the bench, with Lowry posting 10 points and eight assists. Their contributions helped Philadelphia maintain its lead despite Sacramento’s efforts.
Sabonis kept the Kings competitive with his all-around performance, but Sacramento struggled from three-point range, hitting just 24.4% of their attempts.
Fox, playing his first game since reports emerged about the Kings’ openness to trade discussions, had an inconsistent night. He shot 7-of-15 from the field but committed three turnovers.
Philadelphia sealed the win with a dominant fourth quarter, outscoring Sacramento 28-17. Maxey’s leadership and the 76ers’ defensive pressure proved too much for the Kings to overcome.
