76ers’ Tyrese Maxey Talks Missed Fouls vs. Knicks in Game 2: ‘We Can’t Dwell on That’ | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors: BR

Tyrese Maxey says the Philadelphia 76ers can’t dwell on the officiating errors, confirmed by the NBA, that took place Monday during the Sixers’ Game 2 loss to the New York Knicks.

The 104-101 loss allowed the Knicks to take a 2-0 first-round series lead.

“I mean, I gotta be stronger with the ball. … I mean, it is what it is. It happened. We gotta let it go and we can’t dwell on it now,” Maxey said Tuesday on NBA on TNT Tip-Off: “If we dwell on it then in a couple days we’ll be down 0-3, and we don’t want to be down 0-3.

“I mean, we know that we can still win this series. We gotta go out there and prove that to everybody, not just ourselves, and it starts today. Letting that go and then tomorrow at practice and then as soon as the ball goes up on Thursday being a tougher team, not just physically but mentally as well.”

Maxey said the 76ers were responsible for allowing the score to get close enough that no-calls influenced the outcome of the game.

“We still had a chance to win the game,” Maxey said. “I got my layup blocked and then we missed a three at the end to tie, so we can’t dwell on that. We can’t leave games in other people’s hands. We gotta go out there and take it.”

Game 3 tips off in Philadelphia Thursday at 7:30 p.m. ET.
