Tyrese Maxey breaks 76ers record for 3-pointers as Philadelphia beats Miami
Heat 124-117
PHILADELPHIA (AP) --- Tyrese Maxey broke Allen Iverson's 76ers franchise record
for 3-pointers, finishing with five 3s and 28 points Thursday night in
Philadelphia's 124-117 victory over the Miami Heat.
Maxey also had 11 assists and helped steady the Sixers after they blew a
16-point halftime lead. Joel Embiid had 26 points and 11 rebounds and Kelly
Oubre scored 21 points for Philadelphia, which has won three straight after
dropping its previous four.
Bam Adebayo had 29 points and 14 rebounds and Tyler Herro scored 25 points for
the Heat, who have lost two straight.
Maxey came in with 882 3-pointers, three behind Iverson, and broke the record
with 1:38 left in the first quarter. He made all five of his 3s --- a career
high for a period --- and scored 20 points in the first quarter alone. He
finished 5 of 12 beyond the arc.
The 25-year-old Maxey has 887 3-pointers midway through his sixth season;
Iverson played his first 10 seasons and parts of two more for the Sixers.
Miami took its first lead of the game on a 3 by Herro with 2:44 left, but the
Heat didn't score again. Maxey hit two free throws and then found Kelly Oubre
for a 3 to put the Sixers back ahead 121-117. Embiid extended the lead on a 3
with 29.2 seconds remaining.
The Sixers led 73-57 at halftime. Miami rallied to tie it late in the third
quarter, and the margin was within single digits the rest of the way.
