Sixers have a lot of options to throw at Giannis With that said, here are some takeaways from the Sixers' impressive win over the Bucks. Though it was only a game in December, the matchup between the two teams certainly felt like it could be a potential preview of the Eastern Conference finals. With the win, the Sixers move to 18-14 all-time on Christmas Day, while the Bucks fall to 3-3. Khris Middleton led the Bucks with 31 points and eight rebounds. Embiid had a great game offensively, but his defense was equally impressive as he and the rest of the Sixers held Antetokounmpo to just 18 points on 8-of-27 shooting from the field. Embiid got some serious help, too, as five other Sixers - Tobias Harris, Ben Simmons, Josh Richardson, Al Horford and Furkan Korkmaz - all also scored in double figures. That honor goes to Sixers All-Star center Joel Embiid, who paced Philadelphia with 31 points, and 11 rebounds. Giannis Antetokounmpo may be the reigning NBA MVP, but he wasn't the best player on the floor on Wednesday. Thanks to some suffocating defense and some hot shooting from long distance, the Sixers controlled the contest virtually from the opening tip and made things difficult for Milwaukee all afternoon. In what proved to be an excellent gift for the fans of Philadelphia, the 76ers dominated the Milwaukee Bucks in the battle between the two East heavyweights on Christmas Day and walked away with a 121-109 win.
