Tyrese Maxey revealed the Sixers' mindset ahead of Game 5 of the 2024 NBA Playoffs

Despite going down in Games 1 and 2, the Philadelphia 76ers bounced back in Game 3. They went down to the Knicks again in Game 4 before forcing OT in a decisive Game 5.

Tyrese Maxey had exuded confidence, saying the Sixers were a confident unit, before the fifth game.

"Yeah, extremely confident, it's a confident group over there, honestly, just because we've been through a lot this year, and we know that. So when adversity hits, we know how to bounce back from it. I think we feel like we're very capable of winning three games in a row.

"I would say that first and foremost, we've been very, very, very close in a lot of these games, you know, game two and this game for sure. It's like we should have won, we'll take that confidence over there and try to go win, that's all we can do."

The two teams tip off next on May 2 at 9 pm ET at the Wells Fargo Center. Should the Sixers force a Game 7, they will face off in Game 7 at the Madison Square Garden on May 4.
