Maxey keeps Sixers in it, but Harris’ struggles stand out again in loss to Celtics

Well, at least Tyrese Maxey is pretty good.

The Sixers suffered another convincing defeat, falling 117-99 to the Celtics in Boston Tuesday night.

Maxey had one of his best games in this matchup to date, leading all scores with 32 points, shooting 50% from the field. The rest of the Sixers’ starting lineup combined to shoot 9-of-36 from the floor.

Jaylen Brown led the Celtics with 31, shooting 11-of-14 from the field while Jayson Tatum had 28 points and Kristaps Porzingis had 23.
