Maxey drops 39, Sixers show fight but fall to Rockets in OT

Sometimes when (checks notes) Jalen Green gets going there’s just nothing you can do about it.

The Sixers fell 122-115 in overtime to the Houston Rockets Wednesday night off the back of a 41-point performance from Jalen Green.

After a slow start, Tyrese Maxey led the Sixers with 39 points, shooting 14-of-34 from the field — 30 of those points came in the second half. He also finished with nine assists.

Jared McCain had another off night from deep. He did not make a three and finished with 15 points on 6-of-19 shooting. Guerschon Yabusele went for 22 points on 7-of-12 shooting.
