Former Sixer Richaun Holmes split a pair of foul shots with 3:21 left to give the Wizards a one-point lead. After a Wizards three-pointer, Eric Gordon responded with three with 2:16 remaining to tie the game at 101. Maxey’s layup with 23.7 seconds remaining gave the Sixers a 105-103 lead.

In the end, the Sixers would narrowly avoid a complete collapse and walk out with a 109-103 victory. This win was sealed by fan favorite Guerschon Yabusele, who came up with a big block on Bilal Coulibaly in the final seconds when Philly was only up two.

The big man’s availability has also been key as Joel Embiid and Andre Drummond have struggled to stay healthy.
