During the fourth quarter of the game with 10 seconds left on the shot clock, the Sixers’ Tyrese Maxey hit the dagger to bring the lead up to four points which would eventually bring them the win. Maxey has been great for the Sixers roster providing them with extra offensive power. He is being considered as one of the most improved players in the league averaging 17.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 4.3 assists shooting 48.3% from the field. Much better than 8 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 2 assists right?
