Think back to the 76ers’ contest against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night. The product inside the Wells Fargo Center was below the NBA standard as several key players were sidelined with injuries on both squads.

The Sixers still faced a six-point halftime deficit. Maxey committed a turnover that led to a McCollum three and came up empty on a buzzer-beating jumper try. In the first half, Maxey and George combined to go 4 for 16 from the floor and 0 for 8 from three-point territory.
