- On Saturday in Phoenix, the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Phoenix Suns, paced by Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, who flirted with a triple-double.
- A second-quarter run, powered by defensive rebounds, swung momentum as Adem Bona pulled down two defensive rebounds and sparked a 12-point outscoring while Phoenix shot below 30 percent.
- Maxey mixed his shots to sustain the offense, taking 10 threes and 11 twos while attacking mid-range scoring and using his floater on Saturday.
- Embiid extended his streak of 25-plus games to 10 as rebounding and physicality have become the Sixers' key strengths on this road trip.
- Officials drew criticism as `the officials might as well have worn Suns uniforms` after VJ Edgecombe was hit in the face unreviewed and Embiid and Booker received offsetting technicals, while Trendon Watford added five defensive rebounds.
