The Philadelphia 76ers needed something to start working in Game 2 at the Wells Fargo Center on Monday night.
Shots weren’t falling, play was sloppy and energy was low as the Brooklyn Nets took a five-point advantage into the halftime break. The Sixers only had one thing really going for them through the first 24 minutes — their young, fast-flying guard out of Kentucky, Tyrese Maxey.
While Philadelphia managed just 44 points on 42.5 percent field goal shooting in the half, Maxey led the way with 15 points, shooting 6-for-8 from the floor and 2-for-3 from beyond the arc.
