The Philadelphia 76ers edged the Sacramento Kings 113–111 on January 29 at Wells Fargo Center in a tightly contested matchup that fell short of the Vegas total of 229.5. Tyrese Maxey led Philadelphia with 40 points, while Joel Embiid added 37, combining to carry the home team through a balanced offensive effort; the 76ers shot 54.2 percent from the field and made 8 three-pointers while distributing 25 assists. Sacramento's Dennis Schröder (27 points) and DeMar DeRozan (25 points) kept the Kings competitive, though Sacramento's 16 turnovers and third-quarter explosion of 38 points couldn't overcome a sluggish fourth quarter that yielded just 19 points. Philadelphia's defense held firm down the stretch despite Sacramento's 46-rebound advantage, as the 76ers' 122.0 offensive rating outpaced their 119.2 defensive rating. The Kings' 50 percent shooting and 10 made threes proved insufficient against Philadelphia's execution in crunch time. This narrow victory solidifies the 76ers' home-court credentials as playoff positioning tightens in the Eastern Conference.
