NBA: Philadelphia thanks super Tyrese Maxey, LA Clippers collapse
Great Spectacle and strong emotions in Milwaukee where Philadelphia wins, after an overtime, over the Bucks (123-114 the final) thanks to a monumental performance of Maxey. The 76ers’ funambulistic point guard finished with an impressive 54 points, his career high.
Maxey is also, at the moment, the player who stays on the court the longest in the entire NBA, or 40.3 minutes per single game: “I don“t care. I just want to win. If I have to play a lot to win, then that”s what I”ll do,” his words reported by ESPN.
Bad defeat, however, for the LA Clippers who are swept by Orlando: 129-101 the final. For the Magic this is the fifth win in the last six games played (in the last four absent loor best player, namely Banchero). Not enough, for the Clippers, a fine performance by Harden with 31 points on the scoreboard.
A big win for Memphis, which beat Sacramento with a dry 137-96. For the Kings it is the’eighth stop in a row. Weighing heavily is the injury to Sabonis, who will be reevaluated in mid-December (partial meniscus injury in left knee). Despite the’absence of all-star Wembanyama, San Antonio got the better of the challenge with Atlanta (135-126). Excellent performances by Fox (26 points) and Johnson (25).
