The Philadelphia 76ers have made significant strides in their resurgence, notching three consecutive victories to improve their record to 13-9. Despite being on the second leg of a home-road back-to-back, and without Joel Embiid, the team demonstrated resilience, with Paul George, Adem Bona, Quentin Grimes, and Jared McCain all chipping in quality performances.
Tyrese Maxey, as expected, set the tone for the Sixers, but it was evident that he wouldn't need to bear the sole burden. The squad's depth and talent allowed them to overwhelm the Milwaukee Bucks 116-101. Jabari Walker had a breakout game, showcasing his shooting stroke, including a three-point barrage that helped establish an early lead.
Head Coach Nick Nurse praised Walker's growth, stating that he's been frequently asked to take threes, but needs to develop confidence in meaningful games. Walker, who was shooting 29.2% from beyond the arc at the start of the week, finally found his rhythm, knocking down four three-pointers and posting a double-double off the bench.
The Sixers' victory was also marked by the return of Kyle Lowry, who rejoined the rotation at the expense of Justin Edwards. Despite Lowry's unconventional playing style, he made an immediate impact, facilitating plays and communicating effectively with his teammates. Nurse has been praised for finding spots to play Lowry, particularly when facing non-threats on offense.
Maxey highlighted the importance of Walker's shooting, saying "I just want him to shoot," as he noted that Walker had made every three-pointer in training camp practices. Walker, who was previously struggling with his shot selection, finally found his confidence, sparking excitement from his teammates.
The Sixers' next challenge comes on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Lakers at home, where they'll don their black throwback jerseys.

he's not trying to be a coach or anything! But seriously though, Walker's growth is huge for this team and it's dope to see him finally feeling confident on the court 
I think Nurse got some credit for making those adjustments too. Lowry's unconventional style can actually work in their favor, but they gotta find the right spots to utilize him. The Lakers are gonna bring a whole different level of intensity so we'll see how this team responds. Can't wait to watch it all go down
