MILWAUKEE \u2014 Tyrese Maxey<\/a> scored a career-high 54 points and tied the game by hitting two free throws with seven seconds left in the fourth quarter of the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a>‘ 123-114 overtime victory over the Milwaukee Bucks<\/a> on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Maxey’s previous career high was a 52-point performance in a 133-126,\u00a0double-overtime victory\u00a0over San Antonio on April 7, 2024. He also had nine assists and played over 46 1\/2 minutes.<\/p>\n

Maxey, who entered Thursday averaging a league-high 40.3 minutes, had played 39 minutes one night earlier in a\u00a0121-112 home loss\u00a0to the Toronto Raptors.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee’s Ryan Rollins scored 32 points to match a career high and also had a career-best 14 assists. The Bucks have lost four of their last five games.<\/p>\n

Neither team had its former league MVP available.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee\u2019s\u00a0Giannis Antetokounmpo,\u00a0the MVP in 2019 and 2020, got hurt\u00a0Monday at Cleveland\u00a0and is expected to miss\u00a0about two weeks.\u00a0The Bucks labeled it a left groin strain Monday but have since specified that it\u2019s a left adductor strain.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia\u2019s Joel Embiid, who won the award in 2023, missed a sixth straight game due to an issue with his right knee.<\/p>\n

The 76ers scored the first five points in overtime on a 3-pointer from Justin Edwards \u2013 who scored just two points in regulation \u2013 and a basket from Maxey.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee got the margin down to 113-112 on a driving layup from Rollins with 1:43 remaining, but Quentin Grimes hit a 3-pointer 20 seconds later and Philadelphia stayed ahead by at least two the rest of the way.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee trailed 94-87 midway through the fourth quarter but rallied to take the lead on Myles Turner\u2019s 3-pointer with 14.8 seconds remaining.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia tied the game with seven seconds left when Maxey drove into the lane, drew a foul hit his free throws. Rollins missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer.<\/p>\n

Paul George added 21 points for Philadelphia. Bobby Portis had 19 and Kyle Kuzma 17 for Milwaukee.<\/p>\n
