Tyrese Maxey and the Philadelphia 76ers edged Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics 102-100 on Tuesday, thanks to a late Kelly Oubre Jr. putback, securing a home win despite the absence of Joel Embiid.

Seeing the way Walsh defended Maxey prior to clutch time gave them all the evidence they needed to keep that matchup a priority. After the game, Walsh acknowledged an emphasis of understanding player tendencies and figuring out how to place a scorer of Maxey’s caliber in uncomfortable situations.

Tyrese Maxey and youngster Justin Edwards powered Philadelphia to a 102-100 victory in the 76ers vs. the Boston Celtics.

Philadelphia is off to a 7-4 start thanks to their young stars, making the real question is can the veterans fit in around them?

Tyrese Maxey recalled inviting the entire team to an early morning workout, but only VJ Edgecombe and Trenton Wofford showed up.
