He barely rippled the nat right through by Maxie. You love it. No starters, nomatise,
thible all good for the seventy Sixers, Tyrese. Maxie led the way and the Sixers can now zoom full speed ahead into the playoffs after knocking off the Orlando Magic one twenty eight, one seventeen in the finale of a memorable regular season. Sixers one forty nine and twenty three overall and yes, albeit in the shorter season, finished with the eleventh best winning percentage in franchise history. We've done nothing. We've had a great regular season. Everyone started zero zero.
Now this is a huge accomplishment, but this is the first one. We can't rest on this. We gotta get ready. Now. We're gonna have tough opponent in the first round. I don't know who it's gonna be, but they're gonna be ready. They're gonna be playoff tested already. We would have had a week off, you know, so we have to be
ready out of the box. What lies ahead for Doc Rivers and the Sixers, Well, right now, there's not a whole lot that we know other than that the Sixers are in and they're going to be facing the lowest seed in the East. Who that is and when depends on how the playing tournament shakes out. We'll touch on that in a few As for Sunday's game in South Philadelphia, Maxie was excellent. He helped get the Sixers off to a strong start. Here's Maxie and a drive runs it
off the glass. They're good and they're gonna count it and about tyres met a blur. I mean he is just so quip off the dribble. Maxie with the hot hand early, scoring eleven in the first and staking the Sixers to a thirty two twenty six lead. Orlando answered with a twenty four seven run to take a sixty five sixty edge in the break. But that doesn't mean

You know, Coach puts me in, asked me to play defense on somebody who asked me to get to the rack or asked me to you know, facilitate for my teammates. And that's all I'm gonna do. So and now I'll be the biggest chili. I'll do whatever it takes for us to win. So that's all I
