Tyrese Maxey scored 37 points but the shorthanded Sixers, who were without Joel Embiid and Paul George among others, had no answer for Giannis Antetokounmpo and Co. down the stretch.

Here are the three biggest takeaways for the Philadelphia 76ers following a tough road loss to the Milwaukee Bucks.

Damian Lillard added 25 points for Milwaukee, which completed a 4-0 homestand. Khris Middleton had 13 points and eight assists in 25 minutes off the bench. Brook Lopez added 12 points, and Taurean Prince had 11.
