When things are trending in the wrong direction, as they have been lately for the Philadelphia 76ers, it\u2019s a perfect time to come across this year\u2019s edition of the Brooklyn Nets. The Sixers never trailed in Friday night\u2019s contest, building a 21-point lead in the second quarter and maintaining a double-digit lead for the majority of the rest of the way in the 115-103 win. The only downside in the victory was yet another injury, with the Sixers losing Andre Drummond to a sprained knee. Let\u2019s focus on the positives for now with Philadelphia staying above .500 and moving to 10-8, and move on to Bell Ringer.<\/p>\n
Jared McCain: 20 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 5 steals, 0 turnovers<\/p>\n
With each passing game, McCain is looking more and more comfortable in his return, this time dropping a season-high 20 points to go along with a career-high five steals. He drained four triples, knocking down a couple spot-ups, doing a nice job relocating into open space, and even hitting a pull-up in transition. Jared looked spry in beating his defender off the dribble, and used quick hands to knock the ball away from opposing ballhandlers from behind. McCain talked about how much the knee brace originally bothered him, and he\u2019s feeling less bothered by the new, smaller sleeve. Going forward, we may have transitioned back wondering if McCain is in enough of a rhythm to be seeing consistent minutes, to seeing him as a true difference maker once again.<\/p>\n
Tyrese Maxey: 22 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, 1 turnover<\/p>\n
The game in Brooklyn won\u2019t make a ton of headlines like his dropping 54 points did last week, but Maxey was incredibly impactful in the win, having all eyes of the Nets upon him and facing plenty of traps. He handled the pressure with aplomb, making the right reads and taking care of the ball, as the 7:1 assist-to-turnover ratio would attest. Of course, he still got his own points on the board too, leading the team in scoring. Maxey went a perfect 6-of-6 from the foul line, and also continued to flash his improved left hand in the open court. It\u2019s crazy that we\u2019ve reached the point with Tyrese where he\u2019s nearing a 20-point triple-double and it\u2019s not even close to one of his most memorable performances of the season.<\/p>\n
Adem Bona: 13 points, 6 rebounds, 4 blocks, 2 turnovers<\/p>\n
With the Sixers\u2019 depleted frontcourt further decimated by Drummond\u2019s injury, the Sixers needed Bona to step up. When he wasn\u2019t dealing with foul trouble, he played very well, even cashing his first career three-pointer in the closing minutes. Late-game outliers aside, Bona earned his bacon as he usually does, fighting on the offensive glass, finishing through traffic around the rim, and rejecting everything in sight on the defensive end. Adem skied for a block from the weak side to deny a Noah Clowney layup attempt, and stayed in front of a driving Terance Mann to send his shot in the other direction. We\u2019ll see in the coming games whether Bona can keep the fouls to a minimum to ramp up the minutes workload.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2025-26 Sixers Bell Ringer Standings:Tyrese Maxey – 7Andre Drummond – 2VJ Edgecombe – 2Dominick Barlow – 1Adem Bona…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":48188,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[69,71,70,28049],"class_list":["post-48187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news","tag-sixers-scores"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48187"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48187\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
