Justin Edwards' only 3-pointer of the game opened the scoring in overtime and gave Philadelphia a lead it never relinquished and Tyrese Maxey scored a career-best 54 points as the 76ers pulled away for a 123-114 victory over the host Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night.
In a game without injured stars Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo, Edwards played hero in hitting his seventh 3-point shot of the game just 40 seconds into overtime. His offensive rebound on a missed foul shot with less than a minute to play led to two lead-extending free throws by Quentin Grimes.
Maxey hit four overtime free throws -- all in the final 22.7 seconds -- to complement key late contributions by Edwards and Grimes, who nailed a 3-pointer with the 76ers up just one with 1:23 to play.
Playing in just his second game of the season, Paul George chipped in with 21 points in 25 minutes for the 76ers, who improved to 2-0 in overtime games this season.
Ryan Rollins amassed a team-high 32 points and a game-high 14 assists and six rebounds for the Bucks, who lost their third straight. Turner also had a double-double with 14 points and a team-high 10 rebounds.
Grizzlies 137, Kings 96
Santi Aldama tied his career high with 29 points and Jock Landale added 21 as Memphis snapped a five-game losing streak with a victory over visiting Sacramento.
The Grizzlies set a franchise record with 42 assists while handing Sacramento its eighth straight loss. Aldama was 11-of-18 shooting with five 3-pointers, while Landale made eight of his nine field-goal attempts. Rookie Cedric Coward finished with 19 points and big man Zach Edey scored 16 points -- all in the opening half -- on 7-of-7 shooting. Vince Williams Jr., filling in at point guard for the Grizzlies, had a career-high 15 assists.
Sacramento was led by Zach LaVine, who scored 26 points on 10-of-17 shooting. Maxime Raynaud added 12 points and Keegan Murray, making his season debut after returning from preseason thumb surgery, finished with 11 points. Russell Westbrook also scored 11 for the Kings.
Magic 129, Clippers 101
Jalen Suggs knocked down five 3-pointers on his way to a team-high 23 points, and Orlando continued the tailspin of visiting Los Angeles.
Orlando overwhelmed Los Angeles defensively, holding the Clippers to just 36-of-89 (40.4%) shooting from the floor while forcing 21 turnovers. The Magic rode their defensive dominance to their fifth win in the last six games. Franz Wagner complemented Suggs with 20 points, Tristan da Silva added 17 points and eight rebounds, and Desmond Bane converted 3-of-6 from 3-point range on the way to 15 points.
The Clippers mounted little offensive threats outside of James Harden, who led all scorers with 31. The only other Clipper to score in double figures was Ivica Zubac with 14 points. Zubac also grabbed a game-high 19 rebounds.
Spurs 135, Hawks 126
De'Aaron Fox hit for 26 points and Keldon Johnson added a season-high 25 off the bench as host San Antonio beat Atlanta for its third straight win.
The Spurs led by as many as 19 points in the second quarter but entered the final period up just three. Atlanta briefly took the lead on a layup by Nickeil Alexander-Walker with 9:17 to play but San Antonio swung back, forging a 10-0 run capped by Jeremy Sochan's dunk to make it 110-101.
Alexander-Walker poured in a career-high 38 points for the Hawks, who lost their second consecutive game after winning five in a row. Jalen Johnson added 26 points and a game-high 12 rebounds.
