Philly jumped out to a 29-point lead and was able to hold off a fourth-quarter rally by Milwaukee.
Joel Embiid dominated in the paint, scoring 31 points and grabbing 11 rebounds for the Sixers, to go along with a season-high 21 three-pointers for the team.
Khris Middleton had 31 points and Giannis Antetokoumpp added 18 and 14 boards in defeat for the Bucks.
