PHILADELPHIA — It’s hard to call Friday night’s tilt against the Milwaukee Bucks a barometer game for the 76ers.
The Bucks came into the matchup a half-game behind the Boston Celtics atop the Eastern Conference standings. They also boast one of the league’s top-five players in Giannis Antetokounmpo.
But neither team was at full strength, and the Sixers lost Tyrese Maxey late in the second quarter to a left foot injury. So it’s hard to compare squads under those circumstances.
