76ers' Paul George: Lethal from deep in return
George recorded 28 points (11-22 FG, 6-13 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists, four steals and one block over 26 minutes during the 76ers' 157-137 win over the Bulls on Wednesday.
With Tyrese Maxey (finger) and Kelly Oubre (elbow) both sidelined, the Sixers got a much-needed boost Wednesday with the returns of George Joel Embiid (oblique). George didn't score his first points until the second quarter, but the veteran forward came alive in the second half, pouring in 23 of his points over the final two quarters. George demonstrated his prowess on both ends of the floor and played nearly the entire third quarter, which is a good sign after after he had missed the previous 25 games while serving a suspension. With George and Embiid back in the fold and Maxey and Oubre close to returning, the 76ers are on track to be at full health heading into the Eastern Conference playoffs.
