Tyrese Maxey scores 33, lifts 76ers over Raptors to split season series

Tyrese Maxey scored 33 points Monday night and the visiting Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Toronto Raptors 115-102 to gain a split of the two-game set.

The 76ers were a different team, playing stronger defense with the return of Joel Embiid and Paul George, who did not suit up when Toronto won 116-115 in overtime on Sunday.

Embiid had 27 points and eight rebounds while George scored 15 points. VJ Edgecombe added 15 points and eight assists to help Philadelphia split the four-game season series.
