Maxey was supposed to be part of a top-heavy unit. Now, he’s sliding to the top of the scouting report every night.

During the season, Maxey is shooting just 31.8% from deep, but over his last three games, he has been shooting 50% from deep. That is a good sign for a Sixers team that needs their shooters to start knocking down open looks from deep.

Maxey helped send the game to overtime, but was held scoreless in the extra frame. With the loss, the Sixers have dropped seven of their last eight games.

Tyrese Maxey reveals what the single difference for the Philadelphia 76ers in an overtime loss to the Houston Rockets.

Moral victories will help the Philadelphia 76ers make progress in the standings if they let them. The time of simply feeling good about hard-fought losses is over. The results of games need to start changing for the better.

The Sixers are 1-2 since the team meeting in Miami and the mood of the team has been a question mark throughout the season. Guys have been in and out of the lineup--including the team's stars--and Philadelphia has had a tough time finding any type of rhythm.
