It’s possible these jerseys literally turned Tyrese Maxey into 2001 Allen Iverson.
The Sixers outlasted the Milwaukee Bucks to beat them 123-114 in overtime Thursday night.
Maxey looked every bit the franchise icon, dropping a career-high 54 points. He did it so on 18-of-30 shooting along with nine assists.
Paul George was the only other Sixer who remotely had it going on, posting 21 points and five rebounds, shooting 7-of-12 from the field in a little under 25 minutes of play.
Quentin Grimes and VJ Edgecombe were the only Sixers to reach double digits, with 14 and 12 points, respectively. Ryan Rollins led the Bucks with 32.
Joel Embiid missed his sixth straight game with a right knee injury while the Bucks are trudging on without Giannis Antetekoumnpo, who’s out at least a week with a groin injury.
Here are some thoughts at the buzzer.
