Is there any solution to the Knicks’ Tyrese Maxey problem?
NY Post
There’s been a lot of dissection of the last 30 seconds of regulation in Game 5, when Tyrese Maxey, the firecracker Philly point guard, turned Madison Square Garden into his personal playground.
But the signs of the explosion were evident all night, even all series, and triggered with 4:33 left in the fourth quarter when Maxey pulled up from 28 feet, with no hesitation in his brain or legs, and buried a long trey.
It was the type of shot that jump-starts heaters — like the one Maxey used to score 12 of Philly’s final 18 regulation points.
Depending on how the next few days go, Maxey either postponed or canceled that celebration outside of 4 Penn Plaza.
