Lebron Helps 76ers Improve To 4-1

October 29, 2026 - 13:01

The Philadelphia 76ers overcame a second half collapse to defeat the Indiana Pacers 114-109 on Wednesday night, improving their record to 4-1 to begin the 2026-27 NBA season.

Tyrese Maxey led the way with 27 points, while LeBron James delivered an all around performance to help Philadelphia secure an important road victory. Maxey was outstanding throughout the contest, using his speed to get into the paint and knock down timely shots when the offense stalled.

Philadelphia built a comfortable lead early, but Indiana clawed back in the third quarter behind aggressive defense and hot shooting from beyond the arc. The Pacers briefly took the lead in the fourth before the 76ers settled down and executed down the stretch.

James made several key plays in the final minutes, including a pair of assists and a crucial defensive stop. His composure helped steady a young lineup that struggled at times with turnovers.

The win gives Philadelphia momentum as it continues a tough stretch of road games. The team has shown early chemistry on both ends of the floor, and the veteran leadership appears to be paying off.

Indiana fell to 2-3 with the loss. The Pacers were led by strong guard play but could not convert enough late possessions to complete the comeback. Philadelphia returns home next week looking to extend its strong start.
