PHLY Philadelphia Sixers Podcast

Cam Payne went OFF against the Grizzlies, finishing with a career-high 32 points and 10 assists on a perfect 8-8 from 3-point range, leading the Sixers to a much-needed win over the “struggling” Memphis Grizzlies on the back of his historic performance.

Payne became the first player in franchise history to record 30+ points and 10+ assists off the bench, and also became the first player in franchise history to finish with 8 or more made 3s without a miss.

The Sixers, still playing without Joel Embiid, Paul George and Tyrese Maxey, also received huge performances from Kelly Oubre Jr (31 points and 12 rebounds), VJ Edgecombe (21 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists) and Quentin Grimes (22 points).

Despite big performances by Tyrese Maxey, Quentin Grimes and Kelly Oubre Jr, the Sixers couldn’t get enough stops down the stretch and fell to the Atlanta Hawks 125-116, as the Sixers dropped to 0-4 against the Hawks this season. The loss drops the Sixers into 8th place in the Eastern Conference, meaning they would be forced to compete in the Play-In Tournament if the season ended today.

The Hawks were led by Jalen Johnson, who finished with 35 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists. Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 24, with Onyeka Okongwu, CJ McCollum and Dyson Daniels all finishing in double figures.

Tyrese Maxey appeared to hurt his right hand after colliding with Adem Bona in the final seconds of the game. The Sixers are already playing without Joel Embiid (oblique), VJ Edgecombe (lumbar) and Paul George (suspension).
