ESPN Stats and info Tyrese Maxey has tied Kyrie Irving 2020 and Yao Ming 2008 for the most points in a half on 100 shooting by a player in the play-by-play era since 1996-97 He has joined Joel Embiid and Allen Iverson as the only 76ers players to score 27 points in a half in that span
Embiid hits a nice one-hander and draws the foul
I do not think Joel Embiid is an MVP front runner
