On October 28, the NBA regular season continued, with the 76ers narrowly defeating the Pacers 118-114 in overtime on the road, ending their two-game losing streak and securing their first win of the new season.
In this game, Embiid and Harris were still absent, leaving Maxi to lead the team alone. He started off poorly, scoring only 7 points in the first half, and the team was also in a difficult position. Fortunately, Maxi bounced back in the second half, scoring 14 points each in the third and fourth quarters, and adding 7 more in overtime, helping the team secure the victory.
In the first two games, Maxi struggled as the sole leader, facing some criticism due to his low efficiency. However, he did not let it get to him. This time against the Pacers, he found his rhythm in the second half, stepping up in crucial moments. He played for 47 minutes, making 14 of 32 shots (5 of 17 from three-point range) and 12 of 15 free throws, finishing with 45 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists. Although his shooting percentage wasn’t high, he ultimately helped the team win, scoring 38 points in the second half and overtime.
Additionally, Martin scored 17 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for the 76ers, while Ubre contributed 14 points and 8 rebounds. Veteran Gordon added 15 points, and Drummond pulled down 17 rebounds.
