Tyrese Maxey led the Philadelphia 76ers to victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, scoring 41 points on an efficient night from the field. Anthony Davis was forced out early for the Lakers due to an abdominal strain.
Last season's NBA Most Improved Player, Tyrese Maxey , continued his recent hot scoring streak as he tries to keep the Philadelphia 76ers within striking distance of the play-in tournament. Maxey had averaged 30.4 points over the last 10 games and he blew past the mark in the third quarter, finishing with 41 points headed into the fourth. Maxey hit four 3-pointers and made 15 of 26 shots overall from the floor.
He extended his career-best streak of 25-point games to 11 straight to the delight of a handful of NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles who sat courtside. The Los Angeles Lakers left the game without a key cog when Anthony Davis was forced out in the first half with an abdominal muscle strain. Davis walked to the locker room with his right hand over his stomach when he left with 2:10 to go in the first quarter. Davis had four points in 10 minutes before he was hurt. Davis averaged 26.3 points and 12.1 rebounds in 41 games this season for the Lakers. The 76ers, led by Maxey, scored 48 points in the second quarter to pull away. Davis' injury added another layer of difficulty to the Lakers' already challenging season. Meanwhile, the 76ers' bench players, including (10), combined to score all the 76ers' points in the first quarter. They combined to make 10 of 16 shots while the rest of the Sixers missed five shots. The 76ers opened a six-game homestand on a high note
