Tyrese Maxey had Sixers fans roaring ”Maxey! Maxey! Maxey!” after each electrifying play — and he crammed a season’s worth into the breakout game of his young career. He wowed on whirlwind layups, connected on 3-pointers from Curry-range and did whatever he desired at all times as he dismantled the Raptors.
He even chucked the ball he autographed as the 76ers star of the game into the stands – where a fan made a two-handed grab.
Everything worked out for Maxey.
Maxey scored 21 of his playoff career-high 38 points in the third quarter and he hit five 3-pointers to lead Philadelphia to a 131-111 victory over Toronto in Game 1 on Saturday night.
