The Philadelphia 76ers edged the Los Angeles Clippers 110–108 on November 17 at Wells Fargo Center, with Tyrese Maxey's 39 points leading a balanced offensive attack. Maxey's explosive performance was complemented by Quentin Grimes' 19 points as Philadelphia shot 46.4 percent from the field and made 11 three-pointers. The 76ers dominated the fourth quarter, outscoring Los Angeles 37–25 in the final frame to secure the narrow victory. James Harden paced the Clippers with 28 points, while K. Sanders contributed 17, but Los Angeles' 40.2 percent shooting and 10 turnovers proved costly in a close contest. Philadelphia's defensive rating of 107.1 held firm down the stretch, while the Clippers' strong three-point volume—12 made from deep—wasn't enough to overcome their efficiency issues. The 76ers' bench depth and fourth-quarter execution provided the margin of difference in a defensive struggle that saw both teams manage 45–46 rebounds. This victory positions Philadelphia favorably in the Eastern Conference standings as the team continues to develop chemistry around its star backcourt.
