Maxey makes it rainīoston was playing from behind the eight ball the entire night, as Philly dictated the pace and made Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown uncomfortable for much of the first half. He had 30 points and hit 6/12 threes while Harden posted 17, 8 rebounds and 10 assists. Maxey broke out in the playoffs last year, proclaiming himself as a certified scorer in this league, and when the Sixers needed it most he reminded the world of what he is capable of.
