After teaming up for Team Stars in the All-Star Game, Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey and Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards are back on opposite sides.
Maxi made sure to remind Edwards about it on Sunday.
With the 76ers leading in the third quarter, Maxey attacked the rim and made a strong attack. left hand slam Edwards and center Jon Beringer, wowing the crowd at Target Center.

When Maxi moved into the lane he clearly had bad intentions.
While the 25-year-old guard is more known for his speed and explosiveness, he can definitely throw it down.
Edwards, who has quite a collection of posters, must appreciate Maxi's fearless jam.
X fans certainly did.
"He bounced like gravity had forgotten him," said @LinLyn99.
@shydyor said, "Maxi attacking multiple defenders? Bad."
“Honestly, that was ridiculous athleticism,” @lunoxcrypto wrote.
@ajaybolt0 commented, "76ers got a bright future."
At this point, one could argue that Maxey is now the 76ers' most important player, as Joel Embiid struggles with his health. Maxi has been performing consistently since his second year out.
The backcourt pairing of Maxey with VJ Edgecombe has given Philadelphia a more dynamic and high-octane attack than relying mostly on Embiid.
Maxi had 39 points, three rebounds, eight assists and two steals.
