Tyrese Maxey has his signature moment, saving 76ers in Madison Square Garden

NEW YORK — has made that shot before. He’s made it in the gym in the summer at home in Dallas. He’s made it at arenas around the . He’s made it while getting in reps working on the pick-and-roll. He has made that shot countless times before. But he has never made it at Madison Square Garden. Not in New York. Not with his season just seconds away from falling into the abyss. Not with some 20,000 fans frothing to see him fail. Feasting on it. Dreaming of the second round. No, living it already.

His balky left knee continued to limit his movement. He missed shootaround with migraines and still looked a step slow at times during the game. He missed 12 of 19 shots and earned just six free throws. That forced Maxey to step up. He had labored for this moment. His father raised him by a creed he took seriously: that proper preparation prevents poor performance. But even that confidence can waver.
