NEW YORK -- After the New York Knicks completed a miraculous comeback in Game 2 of their epic first round series against the Philadelphia 76ers at Madison Square Garden last week, Tyrese Maxey vowed to make up for his turnover and missed shot in the closing moments that helped cost his team that game.
Tuesday night, with Philadelphia's season seemingly over, Maxey not only made up for it -- he somehow did something even more absurd.
Thanks to his seven points in the final 28.9 seconds of regulation - back-to-back 3-pointers, the first of which he was fouled on by Mitchell Robinson, and made the ensuing free throw - the 76ers erased a six-point lead inside the final 30 seconds, and went on to claim a 112-106 overtime victory, and somehow sent this series back to Philadelphia for a Game 6.
