The Sixers got their biggest win of the season yesterday, dominanting the Milwaukee Bucks, who own the league's best record at 27-5.
With a healthy starting lineup finally gaining some consistency, Philly got key performances from Joel Embiid (31 points, 11 rebounds), Ben Simmons (15 points, 14 assists, 7 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 blocks), and Tobias Harris (22 points, 4 rebounds, 5-7 3FG).
After the game, the Sixers talked about how they feel they can play with anyone.
