Maxey struggles mightily as Embiid-less Sixers fall to Heat on Christmas Day

The Sixers came up just short of a Christmas miracle, falling 119-113 the Miami Heat on Monday night.

Tyrese Maxey had his worst game of the season, finishing with just seven points and shooting 4-of-20 from the field. Philly did get strong performances from their wings which kept them in the game.

Tobias Harris had a strong outing for the second game in a row, going for 27 points on 10-of-18 shooting. Kelly Oubre Jr. had 25 himself, and Mo Bamba had a season-high 18 points.

None of it was good enough to stop rookie Jamie Jaquez Jr.
