Tyrese McKay blasts the Bucks in OT with a 54-point masterpiece
Tyrese McKay supplied heater Philadelphia 76ers needed, dropping 54 points to win Milwaukee Bucks 123-114 in overtime on Thursday night to give the Sixers a signature road win.
Maxi hit from all sides. He played 47 minutes, shot 18-of-30 from the floor, hit six 3-pointers and made 12-of-14 free throws, finished with five rebounds and nine assists while hitting three shots in a performance that stopped Milwaukee’s late surge, via ESPN Box Score.
The match was progress until Maxey took over in overtime. The Bucks mounted a run in the second quarter, but Philadelphia responded with a balanced offense led by Maxey’s isolation baskets, step-back 3-pointers and timely momentum-changing defense. When the dust settled, the Sixers outlasted a scrappy club from Milwaukee on the road.
Maxi’s outburst continues the red-hot phase; he is averaging great numbers in recent games and was a the focal point of the MVP conversation this season. A reality the Sixers have leaned into as they battle injuries and juggle rosters. His point Thursday extended a streak that has put Philadelphia back on the map in the tight Atlantic Division.
Philadelphia teammates couldn’t stop raving about the acquisition of Tyrese Maxey. The young guard continued to attack even as Milwaukee threw extra bodies at him. The rest of the Sixers fed off that energy, spacing the floor and defending well enough to shut the door on Maxey in overtime.
For Milwaukee, Ryan Rollins led the way, but the Bucks couldn’t stop Maxey’s late surge. For the Sixers, this one feels like more than just a win; it’s a reminder that when Maxi steps in, he can carry the team through the toughest of times.
