The Kings built a 12-point lead in the third quarter, but the Sixers were able to turn things around and were able to walk away with an impressive 117-104 win for their fourth straight. Tyrese Maxey had 30 points and eight assists to get the job done for Philadelphia on a night it had to dig deep in order to get the job done.
Edwards, 21, often keeps his responses short and sweet. But after nearly swinging a nationally-televised playoff rematch against the New York Knicks in the Sixers' direction on Wednesday night, he provided a telling glimpse into his mental journey over the last few months.
Tyrese Maxey and the 76ers picked the Kings' defense apart, powering them to their fourth consecutive victory.
Don’t look now but the Sixers have swept consecutive back-to-backs and tied a season high with their fourth straight win over the Kings Wednesday.

Here are the three biggest takeaways for the Philadelphia 76ers following their rallying win over the Sacramento Kings at home.
Last summer, the Philadelphia 76ers signed Paul George in free agency, validating their decision to prioritize cap room during an era in which few stars have changed teams that way. Franchise player Joel Embiid signed a three-year extension and cornerstone Tyrese Maxey signed a five-year max contract.
With their hard-earned victory on Wednesday, a 117-104 triumph over the Sacramento Kings, the Sixers are suddenly winners of four straight games and will likely finish the night tied for a Play-In Tournament spot in the Eastern Conference.
