Sixers Bell Ringer: Tyrese Maxey continues strong preseason in won over the Cavaliers

Tyrese Maxey - 2

For the second time in six days, the Philadelphia 76ers and Cleveland Cavaliers clashed, this time inside Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. The Sixers scored 113 points for the second consecutive outing and won, 113-97, to stay unbeaten at 3-0 this preseason. Joel Embiid and Montrezl Harrell both sat out, so P.J. Tucker shifted to small-ball center and De’Anthony Melton replaced Embiid in the starting unit.

Once again, Tyrese Maxey raced out to a prolific start, scoring nine points before the nine-minute mark of the first quarter and scoring 15 points in the opening frame, including a trio of triples.
