While the Knicks’ Jalen Brunson had 40 points…the Sixers’ Tyrese Maxey had 46 points…as Philly now staves off elimination and forces a Game 6. Maxey had a huge four-point play and then a desperation three at the end of regulation that sent the game into OT...and he continued to score from there. Game 6 will take place on Thursday in Philadelphia for what should be an all-time classic game.
