It’s very rare when Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey has a rough night shooting the ball let alone two consecutive tough nights. In Philadelphia’s previous two wins over the Detroit Pistons, Maxey combined to shoot just 9-for-29 from the floor and 1-for-12 from deep.
That isn’t very Maxey-like when considering his efficiency, but the rising star found it again on Saturday in a 135-82 drubbing over the Charlotte Hornets on the road. Maxey had 21 points on 8-for-13 shooting and he drilled five triples on eight attempts.
The explosion for Maxey came in the second quarter when he scored 17 points on 6-for-8 shooting and he was 5-for-6 from deep.
