Still, they insist they haven’t lost confidence in themselves, or trust in each other. “Yeah, extremely confident,” said Maxey. “It’s a confident group over there honestly, just because we’ve been through a lot this year. And we know that. So when adversity hits we know how to bounce back from it. And we feel that we’re very capable of winning three games in a row. I’d say that’s first and foremost.

“(PHI was) trying to run a direct post-up to Embiid…Maxey is about 32 feet from the rim & Embiid is forced out to 17 feet…almost fronted….The feeder is jammed & the catcher is all covered up. Just outworking them.”

Before Round 2 the following guys could be out of the playoffs: KD, Booker, LeBron, AD, Zion, Butler, Bam, Embiid, Maxey, Giannis, Dame, Fox, Sabonis and Curry, plus Mitchell or Paolo, and either Luka/Kyrie or Kawhi/PG/Harden. That’s a shitload of stars! – 11:33 AM

Final: Sixers lose 97-92, will head to NY for Tuesday’s Game 5 in a 3-1 hole.
Brunson led the way with a dominant 47 point, 10 assist night. Knicks grabbed 15 offensive rebounds, and it felt like every one of them came in the 4th.
Embiid had 27/10/6, and Maxey 23 for Sixers. – 3:52 PM

That is not even close to out of bounds on Maxey. Embarrassing that it had to get to the point of a challenge, quite frankly.

Knicks 77, Sixers 76 at the end of the third. Crucial stretch to start the fourth coming up for both teams. Embiid with 26-9-5 but a couple bad turnovers in the third. Brunson with 38 and 10. Maxey with 18-6-5. Harris and Oubre have been good but Sixers bench has one point. – 3:03 PM

Halftime: 76ers 49, Knicks 47
Sixers went just 5-for-19 from the field in the second quarter – including an almost comical 1-for-12 on 2’s – but still lead at the half behind 14 from Embiid and 13 from Maxey.
Jalen Brunson has been incredible for NYK, and has 23 and 7 on 10-15 – 2:13 PM

Knicks again taking advantage of the non-Embiid minutes, cutting what was a 12-point deficit to 29-25 about four minutes into the second. A reason: Maxey hasn’t gotten going. He’s 1-of-4 from the floor while anchoring a lineup with Oubre-Batum-Harris-Reed. – 1:52 PM

The nba is basically yearning for Maxey to work on these tacts in the offseason. -rather than try for a clean look at a middy or floater (as he’s often doing) he should just start to post up towards the wrong end of the court hunting fouls from anyone he’s blown by like Brunson… pic.twitter.com/DoX3JhQ7Z1 – 10:46 AM
