They say everything is bigger in Texas, and that was certainly the case for the Sixers’ second quarter in San Antonio. Philadelphia put up 47 points in the frame, their highest total in a quarter this season. The Sixers would go on to defeat the Spurs, 137-125, led by 33 points from Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey’s 25 points off the bench.

In this Talking About Podcast post-game episode, Sean Kennedy and Dave Early discuss the strong effort from the bench, with Shake Milton and Georges Niang also joining Maxey in double digits.
