Tyrese Maxey after 76ers lost 106-93 to Pistons after playing their third game in four nights: “Life in the NBA. Definitely not an excuse we’re going to use.”

Tonight’s view

Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff on what he has seen from the 76ers thus far: “It seems, from the outside looking in, that they bought into what they’re trying to do. And it’s not always easy when you get that amount of talent together. But it seems like it’s been pretty seamless.”

Philadelphia 76ers coach Nick Nurse, before tonight’s game against the Pistons, on the atmosphere in Xfinity Mobile Arena in the first two games: “It seems maybe louder than it’s ever been. It’s fun. It’s exciting.”

After recording a triple-double with 28 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists in the 76ers’ 127-116 win over the Bucks to improve to 3-0, I asked Joel Embiid how much fun he is having: “When I’m at my best, I’m having fun.”

Tyrese Maxey on Jaylen Brown’s impact the 76ers: “I think his biggest thing is he wants to show he can win. Great defender, great playmaker, and great teammate.”

Jaylen Brown on his relationship with Jayson Tatum. “No beef. Might be some lamb chops and gravy.”

I asked 76ers coach Nick Nurse before tonight’s game what stood out on tape about Thursday’s win over the Cavs. Of the second half, he said, “The defense was up the floor, and it was really hard-working the whole half. We started cutting more, we started popping more, we started driving more.”

My planned Big 5 column did not materialize. Here's a two-sentence summary of the gist of it: The Big 5 is a special Philadelphia tradition that will endure. Reverting back to the full round-robin format is actually a good thing for Drexel, La Salle, Penn, Saint Joseph's, and Temple. #Big5Hoops

👀Joel Embiid on the atmosphere in the Xfinity Mobile Arena during 76ers’ 29-point comeback win over the Cavs in their home opener on Thursday: “I’ve been here for a long time. Probably top five night since I’ve been here. I have no words. That was amazing.”

Jaylen Brown loved the second-half response by the 76ers in tonight’s 29-point comeback win over the Cavs. “We could’ve pointed fingers, but we got after it. … The only thing I said (at halftime) is it’s a great opportunity to respond, and that’s what we did.”

Final in South Philly: 76ers 114, Cavs 106 Sixers come back from 29 points down to win home opener and improve to 2-0. Hmm, might make a good chapter for #LeBronSixersBook

Jaylen Brown on daily improvement by 76ers:
