During the season, Maxey is shooting just 31.8% from deep, but over his last three games, he has been shooting 50% from deep. That is a good sign for a Sixers team that needs their shooters to start knocking down open looks from deep.

Maxey helped send the game to overtime, but was held scoreless in the extra frame. With the loss, the Sixers have dropped seven of their last eight games.

Unlike in their previous loss against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Sixers showed consistent fight and focus from the outset. Facing a team with far superior athleticism, depth, size and length — not to mention talent, given the Sixers' many notable absences — the Sixers were able to hang in there.
