The second half has transformed into a heavy-weight duel between stars, with Joel Embiid increasingly asserting himself in the paint. Despite dealing with recent injury concerns, Embiid has logged 30 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists in 29 minutes of action. This dominant inside-outside pairing with Maxey has been necessary to counter a resilient Memphis attack led by Ja Morant, who has 27 points, and a double-double performance from Cedric Coward, who has tallied 26 points and 12 rebounds.

Building on his near-perfect first-half performance, Maxey remained the primary engine for the 76ers’ offense as the game entered a high-stakes closing stretch. After erupting for 24 points in the first two quarters, Maxey has pushed his total to 31 points on an incredibly efficient 12-of-16 shooting from the floor with 5:57 remaining in the fourth quarter. His playmaking has been equally vital, as he has dished out seven assists to help Philadelphia stay competitive in a hostile road environment.
