Tyrese Maxey leads the Philadelphia 76ers to a rather solid win over the Golden State Warriors to begin a back-to-back set.
Breaking down all of the film leading up to the Sixers' amazing two-way, game-winning sequence on Thursday night against the Golden State Warriors.
Maxey scored 35 points to lead the Sixers and chased down Golden State's De’Anthony Melton to block his shot as the time expired.
The Philadelphia 76ers have been without the services of versatile forward Kelly Oubre Jr. since Nov. 14 when he suffered a left knee sprain in a loss to the Detroit Pistons on the road. The 11-year forward out of Kansas was in the middle of a terrific start to the season with averages of 16.
Down 98-97 after blowing a lead that maxed out at 24 points, the Sixers rookie saved the game with a putback lay-up after catching a blocked fadeaway from Tyrese Maxey. The game wasn't over, though, as Golden State quickly inbounded the ball with 0.9 seconds left and had DeAnthony Melton free on a breakaway.
