Near double-double in Game 1 loss
Maxey logged 21 points (8-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight assists and one rebound over 37 minutes during the 76ers' 123-91 loss to the Celtics in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series Sunday.
Analysis
Maxey scored 14 of his team-high 21 points in the first half, though he connected on just five of 14 field-goal attempts in that span. The Sixers' offense struggled in Game 1, with Maxey being the only player on the team to score 20-plus points, and he also got his teammates involved with a game high in assists. He is going to be the engine to the Sixers' offense, especially in the absence of Joel Embiid (appendectomy).

Powers 76ers to victory
Maxey finished with 31 points (11-25 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-8 FT), two rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 42 minutes during Wednesday's 109-97 Play-In Game victory over Orlando.
Analysis
Maxey continued his dominant season, scoring a game-high 31 points, lifting the 76ers to an emphatic victory. Despite being without Joel Embiid (appendicitis), Philadelphia was able to get the job done over a disappointing Magic outfit. Although Boston will go into the first-round series as firm favorites, Maxey will certainly be giving it his all in the hopes of causing an upset.

Paces Philadelphia in win
Maxey tallied 31 points (11-25 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-8 FT), six assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block across 42 minutes in Wednesday's 109-97 win over the Magic in the Play-In Tournament.
Analysis
Maxey didn't deliver his most efficient performance but still recorded a team-high 31 points to help Philadelphia secure the seventh seed in the East. Including the regular season, the star point guard has dropped 30-plus points in two of his last three games and 29 times on the campaign. He also dished out a game-high six assists Wednesday. The 76ers are now set to face the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs.
