At no point in the budding career of Tyrese Maxey has he been more consistent, and proof of that came on Saturday night when Maxey scored a game high 31 points in a 109-97 win over the Chicago Bulls. It was Philadelphia's second straight victory, and Maxey's tenth consecutive game with at least 25 points.

Once again playing short-handed, the Sixers needed everybody to step up and produce. Already missing Joel Embiid and a slew of others, they then lost Paul George at halftime due to a left fifth finger injury.
