Tyrese Maxey, on things clicking so quickly. "We're competitive as hell. You see us playing hard defensively, playing together, that's who we are." "I looked at Joel [in training camp] and I said all that ego stuff and that one ball stuff that we hear, it's going to be okay because LeBron's here and he has made everyone willing passers."

VJ Edgecombe: "You want to know who really initiated the group chats? I did." "Before LeBron got there, I was like 'Yeah, I'm gonna make the group chat. Me, Reese, JB, Joel. And then Bron came in, obviously I don't got LeBron James' number...So I told Tyrese to do it."

Tyrese Maxey, talking about their reaction to LeBron taking a charge in tonight's game, says LeBron avoided taking a charge in practice. "He was standing there and he moved out the way and said 'I got y'all when we get to the game'." "We don't want Bona running Bron over."

Joel Embiid, asked about keeping the team together at the trade deadline: "In the past we've been ducking the tax, so hopefully we think about improving [the team at the deadline], because we got a chance." "I hope that at least we get a chance to just go out and compete, because we got a good group of guys in this locker room, and the vibes are the great."

On the first play of the game, on the night they were honoring Allen Iverson and the 2001 Sixers, Nick Nurse dialed up an Iverson Cut to get Tyrese Maxey a layup. I leaned over to Kyle Neubeck and said that had to be intentional. Kyle tracked Nurse down and verified that it was.

Joel Embiid seemed to be hopeful that the previous schedule he was on -- at least two days off after each game -- might be at a point where it could be re-evaluated. "We're gonna talk about it. I feel great. It's up to them. I'll fight for it. If I'm not allowed or if I can't, then it is what it is. Feel pretty good."

"Joel was like 'Things happen, let's go get a W'." "I was kind of like 'that shouldn't happen', but it happened." "They're supposed to call those if there's any chance at all it's a goaltend." "Thankfully we won or that would have been pretty bad." All the Sixers' reactions to the blatant missed goaltending call on Maxey's potential game-winning layup in regulation.
