Tyrese Maxey was the best version of himself in Monday's 123-104 blowout victory. The Sixers standout has willingly taken on a role on the bench, but he aims to be as impactful there as he ever was as a starter.
Tyrese Maxey collected the ball following a Paul Reed block, then quickly darted to the right wing to launch the three-pointer that put the 76ers up 19 points about midway through Monday’s fourth quarter against the Houston Rockets.
“I fixed my spirit,” Maxey said. “I talked to my people and [I’m] just back in a space of having fun. … That’s what helps me help my teammates and helps us win games. The spirit is contagious. When I go out there and I’m having fun, laughing and being energetic, I think it helps my teammates do that same thing as well.
Though Maxey now has a significant NBA sample size as a dangerous scorer, there are also signs that his game is expanding. Coach Doc Rivers said Maxey would not have been able to deliver some of Monday’s passes earlier in the season, a conclusion the guard took playful offense to — “Coach! Come on, man,” he said while chuckling — before earnestly agreeing.
“I’m just trying to find ways to be impactful, be disruptive,” Maxey said."… [I want to] make guys tired, make them exert energy and exert clock. So now when they get the ball past halfcourt, [there’s 16 or 15 seconds on the shot clock]. Now, you’re getting into the offense with 13 seconds. Since then, Maxey has had numerous conversations to get back in the proper headspace. By the time he reached Rivers, the coach joked that, “I don’t know if we need to talk anymore. You’ve heard enough.” The overarching message was the same: Relax, be yourself, and don’t second-guess.
