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.
“Once he got in rhythm,” Tom Thibodeau said, “he’s hard to slow down.”
As much of the focus of the fans, the media and the Knicks’ game plan has been on Embiid, Maxey has been their No. 1 headache.

Edwin Diaz explained his decision to leave the Mets for the Dodgers. The closer headed west for a three-year, $69 million contract with the two-time defending World Series Champions over the same terms and $3 million fewer with the Mets — who reportedly “had some wiggle room” on their initial offer.But it wasn’t just about the money, the 31-year-old said in his first Los Angeles press conference on Friday.
