Madison Square Garden was ready to explode Tuesday night. Tyrese Maxey had other plans.
The 76ers' All-Star guard scored 46 points including seven in the frantic final 25 seconds of regulation to power Philadelphia to a 112-106 overtime win over the New York Knicks and stun a frenzied Madison Square Garden crowd. The win staves off elimination for the 76ers and sends the tense first-round series back to Philadelphia for Game 6 with New York leading, 3-2.
The 76ers looked defeated in regulation with New York holding a 96-90 lead with 28 seconds remaining.
