When only 18.8 seconds were left Tyrese Maxey showed up as a god’s messenger for the Sixers. He not only made two free throws but also helped the Sixers 100-95 lead and ultimately won the game. When Ben Simmons was enjoying his time on the bench after two consecutive fouls, Maxey stood up for his team and played an astonishing yet important game for them. He secured 16 points in 29 minutes with 7 rebounds.
