Despite a rough showing throughout the first half of the 2024-2025 NBA season, the Sixers have been finding a way to hit their stride lately while shorthanded.
On Tuesday, Maxey had another strong performance, which outshined the competition and helped the Sixers collect another win.
In 36 minutes of action, Maxey attempted 26 shots from the field. From deep, he attempted 11 shots and had nine free-throw opportunities.
The veteran guard made 15 of his field goals and went 100 percent from the charity stripe. Maxey finished the matchup with a game-high 43 points. He also had three rebounds, two assists, and two steals.
Philadelphia snapped LA’s four-game win streak by issuing the Lakers a 118-104 loss. In addition to snapping the streak, the Sixers improved their own winning streak by making it three victories in a row. Last week, the Sixers took down the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Chicago Bulls during a back-to-back set.
On Wednesday, the Sixers will look to complete another as they host the Sacramento Kings.
After collecting the victory on Tuesday, the Sixers are set for a 7:30 PM ET tip against the Kings on Wednesday.
