76ers' Paul George pushing Tyrese Maxey to stay aggressive, shoot more
Philadelphia 76ers guard Paul George is urging teammate Tyrese Maxey to be more aggressive and take more shots, especially after Maxey attempted only three in the first half of a playoff loss to the Boston Celtics. Both George and Joel Embiid emphasized the need for Maxey to stay assertive offensively to give the team a better chance to win. Maxey increased his shot attempts in the second half, but the team needs that aggression from the start in Game 5. The 76ers face elimination and need balanced scoring to stay alive in the series.
