Three stars from Tuesday’s slate of NBA playoff games

Two shorthanded teams came up with huge Game 5  wins, while another escaped elimination with a miracle comeback. Here are three stars from the NBA playoff games from Tuesday night.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey | 46 points, nine assists, five rebounds

Tyrese Maxey was having a spectacular night even before the final 25 seconds of Game 5, but what he did at the end of regulation made it legendary. Facing a hostile Madison Square Garden crown and with the Sixers facing elimination, Maxey scored seven points in the last 25 seconds to force overtime, then added five more points and an assists in the extra period as the Sixers stunned the New York Knicks, 112-106.
