Four observations: Pacers can't stop Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey in ... (The Indianapolis Star)

Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey scored 31 points each to dominate the Pacers in a 141-121 win for Philadelphia on Saturday night.

I think it's just a matter of getting more and more used to how we play as opposed to how the Bucks play. That's them doing an awful lot of good things and us not doing a lot of good things to make it hard for them." He was 4-of-9 from 3-point range, but he was more aggressive on the dribble. That's allowed Nesmith and Nwora to play together more, as Nwora was effectively Nesmith's backup before the injury. Nwora scored 13 points on 5-of-13 shooting, but he grabbed nine rebounds, and even more important was his passing. Nembhard scored 22 points on 9-of-14 shooting with two assists, scoring in double figures for the fifth straight game, his longest such streak of his rookie season. The Pacers fell to 32-39, 12th in the Eastern Conference but just a game out of 10th and the final play-in position. Tobias Harris also scored 24 points and the Sixers shot 61.4% from the floor (54 of 88). In transition or in half-court, in the mid-range or at the rim, the Pacers had no answer for the 7-foot, 280-pounder and NBA leading scorer with 33.5 points per game. The third-year guard from Kentucky was cooking from the beginning and never stopped, finishing with 31 points on 12-of-18 shooting, including 5-of-9 from the 3-point arc, knifing through the Pacers' defense off the dribble and knocking down the open shots. "With what they're team is doing and how he's just elevated his game, he's as difficult a guy to game plan for as there is in the game. For a time forward Aaron Nesmith served as a first-line of defense, checking him as far away from the basket as he could, and even that didn't work particularly well.

"The force that I'm going to the rim with, the amount of shots that I'm taking at the rim instead of mid-range shots. The Pacers had a solid night offensively, shooting 51.7 percent from the field and 12-for-31 (38.7 percent) from 3-point range. I'm going to continue to do it and get better and continue to learn." Andrew Nembhard tallied 22 points on 9-of-14 shooting in the loss, while Turner finished with 20 points and five rebounds.
