Maxey's 'amazing' block preserves 76ers' win
PHILADELPHIA — 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey's scoring prowess turned him into an All-Star — and this season potentially an All-NBA selection — during his five-plus NBA seasons.
But on Thursday night, it was a spectacular defensive play that allowed Maxey and the 76ers to escape with a heart-stopping 99-98 victory over the Golden State Warriors at Xfinity Mobile Arena, as he raced from one end of the court to the other in seemingly the blink of an eye to swat a potential game-winning layup by Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton and stave off what would have been a horrific 76ers collapse.
