Here's what stood out to PompeyOnSixers during the team’s 101-99 loss to the Miami Heat Monday night at the Wells Fargo Center.
Tyrese Maxey benefits from his pairing with James Harden. But the team’s execution down the stretch is less than desirable.The Sixers looked like a team with no cohesion. At times, it looked like they were competing in a bad-pass contest as the ball sailed out of bounds, over teammates’ heads, or was picked off by Heat defenders.
Joel Embiid was the biggest culprit, finishing with six turnovers. Unlike Saturday against the Boston Celtics, the All-Star center didn’t make quick decisions before the Heat double-teamed him. This comes after Maxey averaged 12.0 points on 35.7% shooting in his previous two games. He missed all eight of his three-pointers in the matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies and Boston Celtics.
Maxey had played a lot of minutes as the leader of an all-second unit lineup. As a result, he was the primary ball handler on the floor. But playing alongside Harden enabled him to roam freely. And there were times when Harden passed the ball up ahead to a streaking Maxey in transition.“I just tried to be overly aggressive,” Maxey said. “You know, not try to force the shot but I think they were trying to be so aggressive that [Rivers] had to put me back a little bit.
