Stephen A. Smith had Tyrese Maxey's back on Tuesday morning.
Among the celebrities sitting near the court at Madison Square Garden on Monday night was popular ESPN host and analyst, Stephen A. Smith., Smith witnessed arguably the most dramatic sequence of the 2024 NBA Playoffs.
The ball went to Tyrese Maxey, who fell to the ground and lost control. When the Knicks got the turnover, they missed the initial go-ahead three, but managed to snag the rebound and create another opportunity, which was a successful three-point attempt that gave New York the lead. As expected, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith was beaming with joy since his Knicks won the game, but that didn’t prevent him from backing the Sixers’ All-Star, Maxey, the following morning.Smith revealed he’s under the belief that Maxey should’ve landed “at least” two or three whistles in his favor towards the end of the game.
The Sixers are expected to file a complaint to the NBA for the officiating through the first two matchups of the series. Regardless of the outcome, it doesn’t change the Sixers’ current record, which is 0-2 in the postseason.
