Celtics are walking into the Tyrese Maxey trap Embiid accidentally unleashed
Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe do a great job of scoring in transition for the Philadelphia 76ers, and with no Joel Embiid, that could be a bigger issue for the Boston Celtics.

It’s the Boston Celtics’ third meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers in 12 games. The two sides split the first two, and the aggregate score is tied. In the first game, Embiid struggled. In the second, he looked much improved. But now, Boston will have to deal with even more Tyrese Maxey (and VJ Edgecombe).
