Maxey had a game-high 39 points on 16-of-28 shooting on top of three rebounds, eight assists, and two steals. The 76ers ended their four-game losing streak and improved to 31-26.
They also snapped the three-game winning streak of the Timberwolves, who dropped to 35-23. Minnesota played without Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid due to a one-game suspension and a shoulder injury, respectively.
In the third quarter, Maxey gave the 76ers even more momentum after emphatically dunking on Anthony Edwards and Joan Beringer .
After the game, Edwards acknowledged Maxey's huge slam and gave his fellow All-Star high praise .

"He's incredible. He already knows he's one of my favorite players to watch in the league. He dunked on me today too. I don't really like that. He played great," said Edwards in a video posted by Timberwolves reporter Andrew Dukowitz.
"I didn't know he was going downhill. I just ended up turning my head. I'm thinking he was going to lay it up, then he went and punched it. It was like a little quick dunk too. I couldn't even get a chance to block it. But yeah, that's why we play the game. I ain't mad at that."
Ant-Man has always kept it real during interviews, and it is nice to hear him give props to Maxey. While the 24-year-old Edwards is known to talk a lot of smack on the floor, he is equally generous in giving compliments.

He finished with 28 points on 11-of-19 shooting, nine rebounds, three assists, two steals, and two blocks. He also had a game-high seven turnovers.
The Timberwolves will face the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday.
