Embiid posts triple-double, Maxey drops 30, Sixers crush flopping Lakers

How smart of the Sixers to take all the three-pointers and make every single one of them. Why hadn’t they been doing this the whole time?

The Sixers knocked off the L.A. Lakers 138-94 Monday thanks to the whole team catching fire from deep. They finished the night 22 of 46 (48%) from deep.

Joel Embiid, who once again was able to take the fourth quarter off, had his first triple-double of the season with 31 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. Tyrese Maxey led the three-point onslaught, shooting 5-of-12 from deep and putting up 31 points along with eight assists and no turnovers.
