It was a strange evening for an NBA basketball game, with Caleb Martin, who was asked to become much better familiar with the opposition, and KJ Martin sent home before the game, so that he does nothing to bring an upcoming physical. Even stranger played Joel Embiid! Meanwhile, Anthony Davis sat on the bench for Dallas and you are bad for him as the first thing people will connect with him now is to be the other side of the stupidest trade in the NBA story. So weird Vibber all around.

On the field, the Sixers looked to have acted on their concept of team defense most of the night, but they just made down on the stretch to hold for the 118-116 victory. Let’s look at who shone to Philadelphia with tonight’s Bell calling nominees.

Tyrese MaxEy: 33 points, 4 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 stealing, 3 revenue

Do the 15 straight matches with at least 25 points for Maxey and six equal 30-point games that are in the middle of the best stretch of his career. Tyrese came out guns with 11 points and five assists in the first quarter. A reverse lay-in towards the end of the period below and about two Mavericks defenders was absolutely absurd. All games long, he changed gears and pinballed around to make room for floats or knock in outside the glass. Maxey worked perfectly in control and got big numbers in a game as he didn’t even break warm from the outside. Oh, and he had 13 assists, and while many were a generous state collection of ‘shovel it to Embiid and let him go to work’, Tyrese also had some advanced drivet-and-kicks for guys like Ricky Council IV and Justin Edwards . This kind of game is just standard operating procedure for Maxey now, which is huge.

Joel Embiid: 29 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal, 5 revenue

Joel Embiid had not played an NBA game of a month and then scored Sixers’ first point on one of his patented baseline -turnaround -Jumpers, which only approx. Half a dozen players in the NBA story could hit on a consistent basis. He did not look rusty at all in walking 3-of-3 off the course in seven points in the first quarter and then ended with 18 points at the break. All evening he locked up offensive opportunities for Maxey and Guerschon Yabusele and eventually summarized his first triple double in the season. He made a handful of winning acting in crunch time. First he made the leading bucket on the interior with 22 seconds left, then he secured a hard rebound in traffic at the other end after a Maverick’s miss, and he was involved in the defensive stop on Dallas’ final possession. Embiid has already been excluded for Wednesday night against Miami the other night of a back-to-back, but we look for much more performance in the future as we saw here against Mavericks.

We got to see Yabu as Start Four next to Joel Embiid tonight and it was beautiful. Guerschon went a perfect 7-of-7 inside the arch, with his only miss at night a three-point attempt. He and Joel had a cute high-low game in progress, where Yabusele used his burly frame to cut the space on the interior of some hard finishes on the hanger. In total, Embiid Assisted Yabusele five times in the limited area. Then Guerschon played two game -winning acting in the last 30 seconds. First he returned the benefits to Joel with a fantastic entrance box at EMBIID’S GO-ADEAD BACK. Then Yabu played strong defense at Naji Marshall to force a miss and preserve the lead with 15 seconds left. Keep this man a sixer, Daryl.

Justin Edwards: 16 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, 1 revenue

Edwards played his role for perfection tonight, shooting 4-of-9 from three and playing within the flow of the action at both ends of the court. In my opinion, he saved the game with his block by Naji Marshall inside the last minute. Maxey had turned it around and it looked like a light transition bucket for Dallas to stretch their lead to three points. Instead, Edwards needed back and somehow got able not only to prevent a light set up, but get the block and get the ball back in the other direction. Sixers would resume the lead for good on the next possession. It’s a question of when not if Philadelphia converts Edwards from a two-way to a standard NBA contract.
