Here's what stood out to PompeyOnSixers during Wednesday’s 106-99 loss to the Boston Celtics at TD Garden.
Tyrese Maxey appears to be a little funk. And the 76ers just might not be as good as we thought.Griffin made a season-high five three-pointers in eight attempts while scoring 15 points in the Celtics’ win.
Harden said Griffin’s 15 points on wide-open threes were hard to overcome. He pointed out the Sixers did a solid job on Jayson Tatum, who finished with 12 points on 5-for-15 shooting.But Harden knows no team can allow Griffin to make five threes. “I don’t really take it as disrespect,” he said. “I hurt them. That was their game plan. Obviously, Doc makes that game plan. They didn’t adjust, which has been sort of a thing. No disrespect, though.”Maxey had his second worst shooting performance of the season, scoring six points on 3-for-14 shooting. The Sixers shooting guard missed all three of his three-pointers while playing 22 minutes, 27 seconds.
Wednesday night’s matchup marked the 10th game that Maxey has played in since losing his starting job.
