Scott Agness: Tyrese Maxey erupts for 45pts (38 in 2H) to lead 76ers to 118-114 overtime win in Indy. Both teams committed 20 TOs, but 76ers’ 25 second-chance points (and 11 IND missed FTs) were the difference. Haliburton scored 22 + forced OT with a 3. Siakam with 17-5-6. Next: Mon. at ORL

A wild gamer on an even wilder game.
Maxey’s first half blunders + second half/OT heater, Caleb Martin’s strong game being derailed by horrific mistake (and that error being bailed out by a FT miss) + a billion other things.
The Sixers will not go 0-82:

Pacers have overcome poor rebounding to knot the game at 95. 13 lead changes.
They started the game 9/16 from range.
Since: 2/11
Tyrese Maxey has scored 22 of his game-high 29 in the 2nd half. – 5:50 PM

Guerschon Yabusele with one hell of an effort to outwork two Pacers for an offensive rebound — and it leads to another Maxey three. Sixers lead. – 5:39 PM

Tyrese Maxey finally got hot there in the 3rd, for really the first time this season, and finished with 14 in the frame. He’s up to 21 points on 7-19 shooting and the Sixers have a 79-78 lead heading into the 4th. – 5:31 PM

Tyrese Maxey returns to the game as an offensive sub and beats the buzzer with a go-ahead lefty floater. Sixers lead by one entering the final frame. – 5:30 PM

Rarely see Maxey this animated, but quite the third quarter after a brutal first half.
He’s scored 12 of the Sixers’ last 16 and swatted a TJ McConnell baseline jumper a few moments ago. – 5:25 PM

This Maxey run reminds me of a Bryce Harper power surge after he ends a three-weak power outage. He’s cooking now. – 5:24 PM

Tyrese Maxey is finally in a rhythm, and he is showing as much emotion as I can remember seeing from him during any game other than G5 in New York last year. He needs this badly. – 5:22 PM

Maxey finally starting to wake up here after getting some trips to the line to build a rhythm. Has gotten a pick-me-up from a bunch of different role players tonight, needs to help them seize this game in the final 1.5 quarters – 5:17 PM

Tyrese Maxey ties the game with a lefty layup and forces the Pacers timeout. “COME ON,” he yells over and over. (There may have been a few four-letter words mixed in) – 5:17 PM

Another possession with two three-point misses from Maxey. Haliburton knocks one down on the other end and the Sixers call timeout. Brutal. – 5:09 PM

Tyrese Maxey throws the ball to nobody in particular for his fourth turnover of the first half. He continues to look totally out of sorts as a shooter, passer and defender. – 4:43 PM

For all of Tyrese Maxey’s offensive struggles in the first 2.5 games, his defense has somehow been worse. Just going off-script trying to double when he has no chance of even impacting the play and leaving his teammates compromised as a result. – 4:41 PM

Set aside the offensive struggles, no idea what Maxey is doing on defense today. Just running around with no plan – 4:40 PM

Tyrese Maxey was wide open around the free throw line and missed it well short. He is 1-4 from the field in 12 minutes. – 4:25 PM

Guerschon Yabusele just sprinted to the basket to beat the Pacers to the rim on an Eric Gordon miss, tip-toed the baseline to keep the possession alive off the rebound, and found Maxey for a corner 3.
Lot of other high-effort plays early in this one. – 4:11 PM

Guerschon Yabusele with an awesome crash from beyond the arc to grab an offensive rebound and find Tyrese Maxey for a much-needed movement corner three. Sixers bench loved it. – 4:08 PM

More on this storyline
The 76ers need Maxey. They need him to create points. They need him to create for others. Despite his youth — he’s still just 23 years old — they need him to lead. They need him to be the best version of himself. “I think the biggest part is leadership,” Maxey told The Athletic. “I need to lead by example. I need to lead with my voice. I know that I’m young, but I have to play well and if I do that I can demand respect with my play. I think Joel has given me the green light to lead, especially because he doesn’t talk as much. I have a lot of veterans in the locker room that are here to help me. But I really want to set a good example just by how hard I work.” -via New York Times / October 23, 2024
