VJ Edgecombe erupts for 38 as the 76ers beat the Kings 139-118
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) --- Rookie VJ Edgecombe scored a career high 38 points
with 11 assists, Justin Edwards was 7 of 11 from 3-point range and finished
with 32 points, and the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Sacramento Kings 139-118 on
Thursday night.
Quentin Grimes scored 27 points as the 76ers ended a five-game road losing
streak and won for the fourth time in their last six games playing without
their two biggest stars --- Joel Embiid (strained right oblique) and Tyrese
Maxey (finger).
Embiid has missed 11 straight games but coach Nick Nurse said he has been
making progress.
Edwards shot 11 of 18 from the field overall and went 3 for 3 from the line.
Maxime Raynaud led the Kings with 30 points and Daeqwon Plowden had 20. Dylan
Cardwell had 14 rebounds. For the Kings, it was their third loss in their last
five games.
Philadelphia shot 50% from the field overall and 47% from 3-point range,
compared to 38% from deep for Sacramento.
The 76ers took the lead for good with 3:08 remaining in the second quarter. The
score was 71-62 at halftime, with Grimes scoring 20 points. The 76ers extended
their lead to 114-91 during the fourth quarter, fueled by a 16-2 scoring run.
The Kings Malik Monk left the game with an injured right shoulder and did not
return.
