On March 25, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued. In today's headline battle, the 76ers defeated the Clippers 121-107 on the road, changing their record to 39-32 and temporarily sitting in 7th place in the East.
The reason why the 76ers were able to win away from home today is due to Maxey. In the whole game, Maxey started a total of 44 minutes, 9 of 17 shots, including 3 of 5 three-pointers and 3 of 4 free throws, with a total of 24 points, 1 rebound, 6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, no turnovers, plus or minus +15!
In the first quarter of the game, Maxey first hit a three-point shot and then scored a basket, scoring 5 points and 3 assists in 2 of 2 in a single quarter, helping the team score 41 points in a single quarter. Maxey only missed one shot in the second quarter, but in this quarter, Maxey completed a shield for Harden! Interestingly, there was another interaction between the two, when Harden "locked" Maxey when he was stuck in the position, and the former teammates made a small joke on the court.
Entering the third quarter, Maxey stepped up his aggressiveness by hitting back-to-back baskets and stepping up to the free throw line multiple times. In the final quarter of the game, Maxey hit key three-pointers at 45 degrees on the left side and 45 degrees on the right side in a row to help the 76ers open up the difference, and he also scored under the basket many times. It was under Maxey's leadership that the 76ers blasted a wave of 20-5 that instantly made the game lose suspense. In the entire second half, Maxey scored 19 points alone.
It is worth mentioning that when Maxey stood at the free throw line, the Clippers fans at home actually cheered for him as MVP, which is enough to show the recognition of Los Angeles fans for him.
According to the schedule, the 76ers will take on the Kings on the road tomorrow, which is the third game of their seven consecutive road trips.
