Tyrese Maxey amassed 21 points (8-of-20 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), one rebound, eight assists and one three-pointer in Sunday’s Game 1 loss to the Celtics.
Maxey led the way offensively for the 76ers in Sunday’s series opener, but the Celtics made him work for everything. The 76ers’ point guard shot 40 percent from the field, including a 1-of-4 day from beyond the arc. During the regular season, Maxey averaged 8.6 three-point attempts per game. If Boston can successfully run Maxey off the line as they did in Game 1, this series may not last very long. Game 2 is scheduled for Tuesday night.
