Tyrese Maxey could only think about 76ers’ survival before stunning Knicks: ‘Find a way’
NY Post
Philadelphia’s season seemed destined to die Tuesday in the Garden.
Then Tyrese Maxey turned destiny around with an all-time playoff performance.
First his last-minute blitz and logo 3 forced overtime. Then his dominant night helped the Sixers pull out a 112-106 come-from-behind Game 5 win at the sold-out Garden that staved off elimination.
“Going through my mind right there was just, find a way to survive,” Maxey said. “We had to [win]. Our season on the line.”
Maxey poured in a game-high 46 points, including seven in the frenetic final 26 seconds of regulation with Joel Embiid struggling.
“It went in our favor thanks to Tyrese Maxey,” Embiid said. “He was unbelievable. Hitting big shots after big shots. Especially, with everything going on. Tobias [Harris] was amazing throughout the whole game. I think all my teammates. They did their job. Yeah. We got the win.”
The Knicks are on a five-game winning streak and flooded with concerns.
