The Sixers have a third star and his name is Tyrese Maxey.
Thanks to an electric performance from the second-year guard, the Sixers overcame a brutal start to beat the Cavaliers, 125-119, at the Wells Fargo Center Friday night. The win improves the team to 4-0 in the James Harden era and 39-23 overall. They’ll be in South Beach tomorrow to take on the Heat, who they trail by two games for the East’s top seed.
Here are a few takeaways from a fun night down at The Center.
First quarter
- A pretty disastrous defensive start for the Sixers.
