The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 123–114 on November 20 at Fiserv Forum, with Tyrese Maxey's 54-point performance anchoring a road victory. Maxey's explosive scoring was complemented by Paul George's 21 points as Philadelphia shot 18 three-pointers and controlled the glass with 52 rebounds to Milwaukee's 42. The 76ers' defense proved decisive, holding a 104.9 defensive rating while forcing nine steals and six blocks; Milwaukee's Rae Rollins led the home team with 32 points and Bobby Portis added 19, but the Bucks' 110.4 defensive rating allowed the visitors to pull away. Philadelphia's balanced offensive approach—30 assists matched Milwaukee's output—proved more efficient despite shooting just 43.3 percent, as the Bucks managed only 48.9 percent from the field. The fourth quarter proved pivotal, with Philadelphia outscoring Milwaukee 29–25 to seal the win. This road victory demonstrates the 76ers' capacity to win without dominant interior play, a blueprint that could prove valuable in the playoff push.
