PHILADELPHIA — The race for the loose ball about midway through the fourth quarter wound up in Tyrese Maxey’s grasp. Maxey stopped at the left wing, wide open, and fired away from beyond the arc.
The shot went splash, and order was restored.
What appeared to be another 76ers onslaught in their first-round Eastern Conference playoff series briefly turned dicey, before the Sixers closed out a 112-97 victory Monday night at the Wells Fargo Center to take a 2-0 lead in the series.
