The scene was Madison Square Garden, and the star was Tyrese Maxey.

In Tuesday’s win-or-go-home Game 5, the first-time All-Star scored seven points in the final 26 seconds of regulation to force overtime. Maxey went on to score a playoff career-high 46 points, lifting his team to a 112-106 victory and forcing Game 6.

“What’s going through my mind?” Maxey reflected postgame. “Find a way to survive. Season’s on the line.”

There were 16 lead changes and six ties in Game 5. The Knicks (3-2) led by as many as 10, and the 76ers (2-3) led by as many as nine.

“Tonight, that fourth quarter, that last minute - what [Tyrese] was able to do was spectacular,” Tobias Harris (19 pts, 8 reb) said postgame. “It was a big time game from a big time player.

Maxey called the strength of his own performance “mandatory.” He played 52 minutes.

Now, with the Sixers’ stakes just as high, the series shifts back to South Philadelphia.

The series features the three highest scorers in these playoffs, with New York’s Jalen Brunson (34.4 ppg) leading all scorers. Maxey (32.4 ppg) is second in scoring and Joel Embiid (31.8 ppg) is third.

Embiid - who recorded his first career playoff triple-double in Game 5, commended his co-star’s heroics postgame.

“[Tyrese] has always been like that. But tonight, based on the circumstances… He just had to do it. And he did it. That’s why he’s such an amazing basketball player.”

“I trust my work,” Maxey said after his career night. “I trust what I’ve done all my life. Just try to get to a spot, raise up, and knock a shot down.”

Brunson poured in 40 points, plus three rebounds, six assists, and three steals in Game 5 to lead New York.

Josh Hart - who played a game-high 53 minutes - added 18 points, nine rebounds, and four assists, while OG Anunoby recorded 17 points, six rebounds, and two steals.

Miles McBride led the New York bench once again, finishing with 14 points on 6-for-11 shooting, plus four boards and four assists.

Embiid (left knee injury recovery) is questionable for Game 6, while Robert Covington (left knee bone bruise) is out.

For New York, Mitchell Robinson (left ankle sprain) is questionable, and Bojan Bogdanovic (left foot surgery) and Julius Randle (right shoulder surgery) are out.

Embiid credited his teammates for their performances postgame:

“It went in our favor, thanks to Tyrese Maxey. He was unbelievable. Hitting big shots after big shots. Lots of credit to him. Tobias was amazing throughout the whole game. All my teammates, they did their job.”

Game 6 Thursday is a 9 p.m. EDT start in South Philadelphia.

The Sixers are scheduled to wear their blue Icon Edition uniforms, while the Knicks will wear their white Association Edition uniforms.

The Sixers announced that their ‘Bricken for Chicken’ promotion (presented by Chick-fil-A) which proved pivotal in the team’s comeback victory in their Play-In win over Miami, will be in effect for the entirety of Game 6 (usually only active in the second half). Fans will win free chicken for any pair of New York missed free throws.

The 76ers (1-3) visit the New York Knicks (3-1) Tuesday at Madison Square Garden for Game 5 of their first-round playoff series.

The Sixers fell, 97-92, at home on Sunday afternoon. Philadelphia led by 10 points after the first quarter and again early in the third quarter.

Now, what’s the approach facing a win-or-go-home game on the road?

“The message you send is it’s first to four,” Tyrese Maxey said immediately following the setback. “They got three already, so we got to go up there and fight for our lives, fight for our season. That’s what it is.”

76ers Head Coach Nick Nurse offered his thoughts on the Knicks’ comeback:

“We didn’t shoot the ball very well tonight. And I thought once we got a 10-point lead, I think we turned it over three of the next four possessions. We had really great rhythm going and it’s almost like we took ourselves out of rhythm with those turnovers. I mean we were really rolling there and then it got a little difficult to find a rhythm. And then listen, we executed a lot of stuff, making the right reads, and didn’t knock some of those shots down. Missed a couple of layups. There were some clunky possessions here and there. It’s playoffs and both teams have those, but mostly [we] just needed to knock a few of those in and finish a little tougher at the rim.”

Jalen Brunson scored a playoff career-high 47 points for New York.

Jalen Brunson’s 47 points Sunday in Philadelphia set a Knicks franchise scoring record for a single playoff game. Brunson added 10 assists, four rebounds, and a blocked shot in 43 minutes of play.

OG Anunoby notched a 16-point, 14-rebound double-double with three blocks in 47 minutes. Josh Hart shot 0-for-7 from the field (4-8 ft), but grabbed a game-high 17 rebounds and also blocked three shots in 46 minutes. Miles McBride added 13 points off the bench.

For Philadelphia on the Game 5 injury report, Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery) is questionable and Robert Covington (left knee bone bruise) is out.

New York’s Bojan Bogdanovic left the previous game with a left foot contusion and is now out, while Julius Randle (right shoulder surgery) remains out. Mitchell Robinson (left ankle sprain) - who did not play Sunday - is questionable. Jalen Brunson (right knee contusion) and Jericho Sims (right shoulder inflammation) are probable.

Tyrese Maxey on the team’s confidence level…

“It's a confident group, honestly. We've been through a lot this year and we know that. When adversity hits, we know how to bounce back from it. And I think we feel like we're very capable of winning three games in a row. I'll say that first and foremost. We've been very, very, very close in a lot of these games. Game 2 and [Game 4], for sure, we feel like we should've won. So we'll take that confidence over there and try to go win. That's all we can do.”

Game 5 Tuesday is a 7 p.m. EDT start at Madison Square Garden.

The Sixers are scheduled to wear their white Association Edition uniforms, with the Knicks in their blue City Edition uniforms.

The 76ers (1-2) have a chance to get even Sunday in their first round matchup with the New York Knicks (2-1), in a matinee matchup in South Philadelphia.

After New York took care of their home court in Games 1 and 2, the Sixers returned the favor in Thursday’s Game 3 - a 125-114 Philadelphia victory.

Joel Embiid delivered a historic performance in the win, scoring a playoff career-high 50 points on just 19 shots (13-19 FG, 5-7 3FG, 19-21 FT).

Embiid, recovering from injury and playing through illness, discussed his will to overcome adversity postgame.

“I just love playing the game - I want to be on the floor as much as possible,” Embiid said. “I’m not a quitter. I’m going to keep fighting through anything.”

Tyrese Maxey shone once again, finishing with 25 points, four rebounds, seven assists, and two steals.

Nick Nurse commended his star duo’s growth and cooperation Friday:

“I know they’re a good tandem. They’re both really great people. They both care a lot. They’re both superstars. They’re in that boat together.”

Embiid and Maxey are the highest-scoring duo in these playoffs thus far, with Embiid leading the NBA in playoff scoring (37.7 ppg), and Maxey the fourth-highest playoff scorer (31.0 ppg).

Leading the bench unit in Game 3 was Cam Payne, who was called upon after playing just three minutes in the series prior to Game 3. He scored 11 points in his 16 minutes.

“He’s just so positive,” Maxey said of Payne’s performance. “Everybody says I’m positive, but he’s extremely positive. He’s jumping around and having a great time. And he’s always vocal on the bench. We appreciate him for being who he was tonight.”

Following Sunday’s matchup, the series will shift back to New York City, where the Sixers and Knicks will meet Tuesday for Game 5.

Jalen Brunson led the way for New York in Game 3, notching a 39-point, 13-assist double-double. Brunson shot 13-for-27 from the field, 3-for-7 from deep, and 10-for-12 from the foul line.

Josh Hart continues to excel in the series, recording 20 points (including 4-for-8 shooting from long range), six rebounds, and six assists. Hart is shooting 52.2% from 3-point territory in the series.

Brunson leads the Knicks in scoring (28.3 ppg) and sharing (8.7 apg) in the playoffs thus far, while Hart leads New York in rebounding (11.3 rpg) and steals (1.3 spg).

De’Anthony Melton (spine) returned to the active roster for the first time in the playoffs for Game 3. He is not on the injury report for Game 4.

Embiid (left knee injury recovery) is questionable and Robert Covington (left knee bone bruise) is out for Philadelphia.&nbsp;

For New York, Mitchell Robinson (left ankle sprain) is questionable, while Julius Randle (right shoulder surgery) is out.&nbsp;

Payne on bringing energy as a bench player:

“Energy costs nothing. I was pumping the crowd up tonight. As humans, we feed off energy. We feed off confidence. Bench guys - that’s our job… I love having fun.”

Sunday’s matinee Game 4 is a 1 p.m. EDT tip in South Philadelphia.
