After a 1-4 start to the regular season, two days of hearing about how Doc Rivers was the odds-on favorite to be first coach fired, Joel Embiid being ruled out tonight, and counter-programming involving the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 1 of the World Series, Tyrese Maxey completely shifted the vibes with an electric performance in the Sixers’ 112-90 win over the Toronto Raptors.
In this Talking About Podcast episode, Sean Kennedy and Dave Early discuss Maxey’s career-high 44 points. The 21-year-old shot 15-of-20 from the field, including 9-of-12 from three-point range, going a perfect 10-of-10 from the field and 7-of-7 on three-pointers in the first half.
