The Knicks were 28.9 seconds away from closing
out the series after Miles McBride's 14-footer put them up
96-90. Following a timeout, Maxey, who scored a career playoff
high in points, converted a four-point play with 25.4 seconds
left in regulation. After New York's Josh Hart split two free
throws, Maxey buried a 35-foot trey with 8.5 seconds remaining
for a tie at 97.
Maxey made 17 of 30 shots overall and hit seven 3-pointers for
the Sixers, who survived Joel Embiid hobbling throughout the
game. Embiid added 19 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists after
missing the morning shootaround with a migraine.
Bucks 115, Pacers 92
Khris Middleton and Bobby Portis scored 29 points apiece and
injury-riddled Milwaukee stayed alive with a victory over
visiting Indiana in Game 5 of an Eastern Conference first-round

Antetokounmpo has missed the entire series and Lillard has sat
out the past two games.

the Pacers. Milwaukee outscored Indiana 64-36 over the two
middle quarters to take control. The Bucks pulled within 3-2 in
the series.

Garland scored 17 of his 23 points in the first quarter. Mobley
collected 14 points and 13 rebounds.

after being limited to just nine points on 4-of-14 shooting from
