The Philadelphia 76ers finally ended their three-game skid with a 126-122 win over the Utah Jazz on Sunday at Wells Fargo Center. Despite being without their star trio of Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey, the Sixers proved they could compete and secure a win. Quentin Grimes and Lonnie Walker IV stepped up in a major way to lead the charge to hold off Utah’s late rally.

Philadelphia built a lead of over 20 points before Utah stormed back, cutting the deficit to just two in the final seconds. However, the Jazz couldn’t complete the comeback, leaving them at the bottom of the Western Conference with a 15-49 record. Meanwhile, the 76ers improved to 22-41, holding the 11th seed in the East.
