PHILADELPHIA–The Philadelphia 76ers found themselves in a bit of trouble in the first half against the Cleveland Cavaliers. They were down by 21 and they had issues getting into any type of rhythm on the offensive end.
The Sixers were struggling to get anything going as the Cavs did a solid job of using their length and using their zone to throw Philadelphia off. Joel Embiid was not as dominant as he usually is and James Harden had three fouls in the first half that limited his minutes and effectiveness on the floor.
That is when Tyrese Maxey decided to kick it into high gear as he finished with 33 points, with 24 coming after halftime, to lead Philadelphia to a 125-119 win over the Cavs at home. Maxey shot 10-for-15 on the night and he was 5-for-6 from deep as he was a big key for the win.
After the win, his teammates were all very impressed with Maxey:
