Philadelphia 76ers All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey had an explosive scoring night against the LA Lakers on Tuesday and after the game, he sought for his girlfriend Myra Gordon to give her a hug and a kiss.

Tyrese Maxey explains why the Philadelphia 76ers can turn their season around and make a playoff push despite their sluggish start in this one-on-one interview.

At no point in the budding career of Tyrese Maxey has he been more consistent, and proof of that came on Saturday night when Maxey scored a game high 31 points in a 109-97 win over the Chicago Bulls. It was Philadelphia's second straight victory, and Maxey's tenth consecutive game with at least 25 points.

It required a full team effort, but the shorthanded Sixers defeated the recently newsworthy Sacramento Kings. One former Kentucky guard outshined the other — can you guess which one?

Tyrese Maxey just proved it is never too late to fanboy over veterans of the game, particularly, LeBron James. Despite being in the league for five years now, Maxey has kept a wish to himself.

Maxey, who has continued to take on a leadership role in Philadelphia, has had to battle through his first real losing experience in the NBA. The Sixers have not had these types of struggles in his first four seasons in the league and he has had to adjust to the losing while also being a leader for this Sixers team amid the injuries.

The Sixers had even fewer bodies by the end of their Saturday night contest against the Bulls than they did when they entered The Windy City.

Maxey scored 43 points for the Sixers, who again played without All-Stars Joel Embiid and Paul George among others.

The Sixers’ win Saturday night at the United Center brought more injury misfortune and uncertainty; Paul George’s game ended in the second quarter because of a left pinkie finger issue. The fact that Maxey barely left the court allowed the Sixers to complete a perfect back-to-back.

Paul George and Tyrese Maxey combined for 59 points as the Philadelphia 76ers snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 132-129 upset of the league-leading Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.
