Tyrese Maxey knew how to cause happiness
in a week, Tyrese McKay was going through a rough stretch with his 3-point shooting as he shot just 25% over his last five outings prior to this reception Sacramento.
It was against the Kings that the All-Star leader quickly went on an eight-point streak in one minute early in the game, including two game-winning arrows.
“I thought a lot of my shots would go through, that’s the craziest part of this story,” confides Tyrese Maxey about his recent struggles behind the arc. “I went to the gym to shoot over and over again. I felt good and I felt like I was going to shoot well tonight. The season is 82 games and I play almost every game. So I know there will be ups and downs.”
Despite Tyrese Maxey’s good start, the Kings don’t let themselves fall behind. When Nick Nourse leaves his leader and Joel Embiid benched early in the fourth quarter, Sacramento took advantage of the opportunity to go on a 9-0 run to take an eleven-point lead with just under eight minutes remaining.
Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid take control
As soon as the All-Star duo returned to the court, Philadelphia went on a 13-2 run to tie the game. A run in which only Joel Embiid and Tirese Makey are scoring.
“If we stop, then we will have a chance” simply sums up Tyrese Maxey. “We had a good offense when Joel and I were on the floor. In the fourth quarter, you go to work, you stop and you win the game.”
In order to win this matchup, Tyrese McKay works on both ends of the court. With less than ten seconds to play, closes access to the circle for DeMar DeRozan who finds himself forced to stand up halfway. Sacramento’s winger misses his target, giving Philadelphia one last chance with five seconds on the clock.
Joel Embiid receives the ball at the head of the racket and passes it to Tyrese Maxey. The leader gains speed Dennis Schroder to score a layup with his left hand at the last second and give victory to your team (113-111). So he finished the night with 40 points on 12/18 shooting and 4/9 from distance in 40 minutes of play.
After the match, Nick Nourse admitted that his team needed a bit of luck to win. The Sixers dominated in rebounding (46 shots for Sacramento vs. 24 for Philadelphia) and were very average defensively while Russell Westbrook etc Malik Monk were absent.
“Sometimes you have to be a little lucky,” concludes Tyrese Maxey. “We didn’t have a good match, far from it, but we got the win. I’d rather win and learn lessons afterwards than lose.”
