Tyrese Maxey’s game-changing 4-point play shouldn’t have counted: NBA nypost.com/2024/05/01/spo… via @nypostsports – 7:59 PM
Tommy Beer @TommyBeer
The Last 2 Minute Report from Game 5 determines Tyrese Maxey’s 4-point play should not have counted and that the Knicks should have had the ball up 7 with less than 25 seconds remaining.

I’m a big proponent of fouling up 3.
But in this situation it had to happen before Maxey stepped across half court.
The biggest mistake might have been not doubling with Anunoby (let Robinson guard Harris).

The 76ers did a great job of trusting in each other.
Buddy Hield made a major contribution from the bench. And Tyrese Maxey did everything in his power to save Joel Embiid’s reputation for disappearing in closeout games.

Adversity struck Tyrese Maxey in the 4th quarter of Game 4.
It hit Joel Embiid in Game 5.
Instead of going out with a whimper, they ran toward the fight in different ways.
Now, they can tie the series at home on Thursday.

tyrese maxey is a god. and the sixers need to convince nicolas batum *not* to retire. – 9:34 PM
Mike Lynch @SportInfo247
We’d be best served letting Maxey pull up from 35 every time down the floor at this point, tbh – 9:34 PM
Vincent Goodwill @VinceGoodwill
Maxey with max onions! – 9:34 PM
Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Tyrese Maxey! Holy crap. – 9:34 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
The Knicks were less than 30 seconds from winning the series, up six. Then Tyrese Maxey happened.
Maxey drained two 3s, including one four-point play, in the final 25 seconds and we’re going to overtime.
What an unbelievable sequence. – 9:34 PM
David Aldridge @davidaldridgedc
Tyrese F’in Maxey!! – 9:33 PM
Brian Robb @BrianTRobb
Holy shit Maxey – 9:33 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
End of regulation: Sixers 97, Knicks 97
The Knicks led by 6 points with 28.9 seconds remaining.
Tyrese Maxey then hit back-to-back threes to send this game to overtime.
Two two-possession leads have now been lost on this court in the final 30 seconds this series. Insane. – 9:33 PM
Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
Maxey with a 4-point play and a logo 3 to extend the season and send this game to overtime. What an absolute absurd moment. – 9:33 PM
Brian Mahoney @briancmahoney
Wow. Tyrese Maxey saves the 76ers’ season, at least for five more minutes. Seven points in the last 25 seconds, 41 through regulation, and we play on. – 9:33 PM
Adam Zagoria @AdamZagoria
What a shot by Tyrese Maxey – 9:33 PM
Chris Herring @Herring_NBA
I can’t believe this Maxey performance, man. Are you kidding me? – 9:33 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Oh my God. Tyrese Maxey just threw this team on his back. Overtime. 41 points for Maxey. #Sixers – 9:33 PM
Josh Newman @Joshua_Newman
Tyrese Maxey. – 9:33 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
Those of you watching on TV, if you have delay. SPOILER.
Maxey 3. OT. #NBAPlayoffs – 9:33 PM
Kevin O’Connor @KevinOConnorNBA
MAXEY!!!!!!!! WHAT A GAME – 9:33 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Tyrese Maxey just made what felt like a 40-foot pull-up three to send this game into overtime. Madison Square Garden is stunned. – 9:33 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Ref called that a two. Maxey was like 50 feet behind the line. What was he looking at????? – 9:33 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Tyrese Maxey really has been phenomenal. My goodness. #Sixers – 9:31 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
Sixers fans won’t want to hear this, but this was a placeholder season for Philly.
That was true when they traded James Harden and it cemented when they didn’t flip those picks at the deadline.
They have their second star in Maxey. They have endless flexibility. They’re fine. – 9:30 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Poor Maxey. Embiid too heavy to carry – 9:29 PM
Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
A pair of brutal turnovers — one by Embiid on a post-up, another by Maxey after he threw a bad pass after picking up his dribble – might end this one. Knicks are up 94-88 with a minute left. – 9:28 PM
Mike Prada @MikePradaNBA
Tyrese Maxey is so good. Jalen Brunson is so good. – 9:27 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Joel Embiid’s 9th turnover led to an OG Anunoby dunk. Tyrese Maxey answers back with a layup plus the harm, but misses the FT. Philly down 3 with 1:20 to go. #Sixers – 9:27 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Maxey does not quit. He’s had a remarkable series. – 9:26 PM
Kendrick Perkins @KendrickPerkins
Imma give Embiid a pass for leaving Maxey hanging because he’s fighting through a lot right now. Real Talk. – 9:18 PM
Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
With 6:15 left and the Sixers down 80-77, Joel Embiid is on the bench for the first time in the second half. Maxey, Lowry, Oubre, Harris and Batum on the floor. – 9:16 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Sixers lineup out of the timeout:
Lowry Oubre Batum Harris Maxey – 9:16 PM
Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Nobody from the Sixers ran with Maxey – 9:13 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Deuce McBride just dropped Tyrese Maxey! – 9:08 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
It’s not just that Maxey is so quick. His balance is truly insane. – 9:08 PM
Brian Mahoney @briancmahoney
Embiid stays out there but he’s not having a heavy workload because Maxey is playing so well. Basket and then assist to Batum for a 3-pointer and a 74-70 lead. – 9:01 PM
Chris Herring @Herring_NBA
Maxey has been so impressive throughout this whole series. – 9:00 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
12 minutes left to save the season. Philly trails the Knicks by 1 heading into the 4th. Tyrese Maxey has 25, Tobias Harris has 15, and Joel Embiid 13. #Sixers – 8:58 PM
Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
Knicks hold a slim 70-69 lead heading into the fourth quarter.
– Brunson has 22/5 to lead New York
– Maxey with 24/5 on 10-19 for the Sixers
– Harris has 15 on 6-10.
– Embiid with 13/12/7. – 8:58 PM
Dan Favale @danfavale
tyrese maxey is playing his ass off pic.twitter.com/FS2FjN5WCe – 8:57 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Through three quarters, the Knicks lead the 76ers 70-69.
• Brunson 22 pts, 5 asts
• Hart 15-5-4
• Anunoby 10 & 4
• Maxey 24 pts, 5 asts
• Embiid 13-12-7 – 8:56 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
There’s the difference in the passing recognition from Brunson and Maxey. Joel is on Brunson, Maxey comes over to take him, Brunson knows there’s a deficit on the weakside so he moves it even when there’s no obvious pass yet. Ends in a DDV 3 – 8:52 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
DiVincenzo just stopped Maxey from driving to his right, which might be the first time that’s happened all game. Knicks respond with a Hart 3-point play and the lead. – 8:43 PM
Rob Perez @WorldWideWob
Maxey has an M.D. in Layup Geometry. He knows every spot on that backboard. Doesn’t matter how good the defense is or if he can see the rim. That glass is his canvas. – 8:41 PM
Brian Lewis @NYPost_Lewis
Tyrese Maxey hits three straight and the #Sixers use a 10-2 start to the second half and retake the lead at 53-51 with 8:09 left in the third. #Knicks – 8:40 PM
Michael Pina @MichaelVPina
How many players can make getting to the rim without a screen look easier than Maxey does? – 8:39 PM
Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
A pair of Tyrese Maxey layups — one off of a nice cut off a bounce pass from Embiid, the other attacking before NYK had a chance to set their defense — and the Sixers have jumped out to a 10-2 run to start the 3rd and have taken a 53-51 lead. Timeout New York. – 8:38 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Once again, the starters are looking against this Knicks team. Tyrese Maxey scores again at the basket. Philly’s on a 10-2 run to open the 3rd and take a 53-51 lead. The Garden crowd has quieted down a bit. Timeout Tom Thibodeau. #Sixers – 8:38 PM
Brian Mahoney @briancmahoney
Three straight baskets for Maxey and a 10-2 start to the second half for the 76ers, who have regained the lead at 53-51. – 8:38 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
This is shaping out to be one hell of a duel between Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Maxey.
Brunson and Maxey each have 15 points on 50% FG or better in the first half.
Knicks lead Sixers, 49-43, and have held Joel Embiid to just 3/12 FG for 8 points.
76ers’ season on the line. – 8:12 PM
Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
A Maxey layup at the buzzer trims New York’s lead to 6, 49-43, heading into the break. Maxey has 15 on 6-12 shooting to lead Sixers, with Tobias adding 10. Brunson ha 15 on 7-10 shooting for New York, who after missing their first 8 shots of game went 19-29 the rest of the way. – 8:11 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Halftime. Knicks lead the 76ers 49-43.
• Brunson 15-2-3
• Hart 7-3-3
• McBride 8 pts
• Anunoby 7 & 3
• Maxey 15-2-2 – 8:11 PM
Brian Mahoney @briancmahoney
Knicks 49, 76ers 43. Embiid is 3 for 10 and doesn’t appear to have it tonight. Not sure Philly has any better option than to tell Maxey to go Allen Iverson mode and shoot as many times as it takes. – 8:11 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Halftime: Knicks 49, Sixers 43 after Maxey’s scooping layup at the buzzer. He’s got 15 points. Harris with 10. Embiid with 8-9-3. It’s a broken record, but the difference was the big Knicks run to open the second, primarily with Embiid on the bench. – 8:11 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Halftime: Knicks 49, Sixers 43
Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Maxey lead the way for both teams with 15, as the Knicks attempt to close out a series on their home floor for the first time in 25 years.
Knicks have a 10-2 edge in fast-break points. – 8:11 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Tyrese Maxey with a tough bucket to bring Philadelphia to within 49-43 at the half. Miserable 2nd Q overall, though. The Knicks outscored Philly 32-17 in the quarter. Maxey has 15, Tobias Harris has 10, and Embiid has 8 at the half. #Sixers – 8:11 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
They either need an act of god or Maxey to absolutely lose his mind because Embiid is not getting you there tonight – 8:01 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
A big takeaway for me from this series is Maxey still has a long way to go with his passing. They double Joel, he kicks out, a 3rd guy comes over to Maxey, he doesn’t move it weakside. Then he drives into 3 guys and gets stopped instead of finding Joel for a 3. – 7:54 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Josh Hart banks in a halfcourt heave just after the buzzer. No good.
Sixers lead Knicks, 26-17, after the first quarter.
Knicks are 0-of-5 from 3 to start this game.
– Brunson: 1/4 FG
– DiVincenzo: 1/4 FG
– Maxey: 11 points, 4/8 FG – 7:39 PM
Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
Josh Hart’s half-court shot went in, but he let it go well after the buzzer sounded. Sixers take the first quarter 26-17, with Tyrese Maxey (11) and Tobias Harris (7) leading the way. – 7:38 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Sixers 26, Knicks 17 at the end of the first, after Hart’s heave is waved off because it came after the buzzer. Neither team is shooting great, but Maxey has 11 points. – 7:38 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Through one quarter, the Sixers lead the Knicks 26-17.
• Hart 5 pts
• Hartenstein 4-3-2
• Anunoby 4 & 2
• Maxey 11 & 2 – 7:38 PM
Derek Bodner @DerekBodnerNBA
Successful challenge, but only successful in the fact that the refs initially called the foul on Robinson, when it should have been on Hart. Maxey will go to the line, and NY will still have a challenge to use. – 7:36 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
Officials call a foul on Robinson as Hart stripped Maxey — Knicks challenging. Thibodeau exasperated with the officials and we’re in the first quarter. – 7:34 PM
Tommy Beer @TommyBeer
Have lost a bunch of respect for Embiid this series – but have gained a ton of respect for Maxey. Phenomenal young guard – 7:24 PM

More on this storyline

The 76ers All-Star guard put on a show — he finished with 46 points, including seven three-pointers and the game-tying three to force OT — and it wasn’t well received by MSG’s famed celebrity row of diehard Knicks faithful. Comedian Tracy Morgan flashed his right middle finger in the direction of Maxey after the 23-year-old celebrated saving Philadelphia’s season with his game-tying three at the end of regulation. -via New York Post / May 1, 2024
