Efficient as ever and author of his long-distance record in the Playoffs, Tyrese Maxey is undoubtedly the man of Philadelphia’s victory against Brooklyn. Author of 33 points, the guard was excellent last night.
Well aware that Joel Embiid could do a huge job every night in the racket, the Nets made the decision to systematically overtake the Cameroonian to force his lieutenants to put the shots in his place. During the first round, the strategy was thwarted by the contribution of a very good James Harden. This night, it was Tyrese Maxey who came out of the woods to carry his team to victory. With 33 points scored including 6 shots from the parking lot, the guard was great and he achieved his long-range career record in the Playoffs.

We especially remember his regular contribution throughout the match. In the first half, it was he who allowed Philly to stay in the game by taking the lead in scoring while Embiid was well taken and the Harris-Harden pair missed out. He is also there to bring his stone to the building in the run of the 3rd quarter. Finally, he joins forces with Joel Embiid in the money time to sink the Nets with several well-clutched baskets. A real complete performance for the young rear, strangely forgotten on several actions by Brooklyn, who ensured to prevent Philly from losing the advantage of the field.
Harden who assures in Game 1, Maxey who continues in Game 2, the Sixers respond rather well to the anti-Embiid plan put in place by the Nets. Certainly, there are times when it remains complicated as Jojo is essential in the offensive organization but Philly has resources and proves it. What push Jacque Vaughn to review his plans? We’ll see at Game 3, on the side of Brooklyn now.
