Tyrese Maxey admits he is tired of the 76ers having to come back from big deficits

The Philadelphia 76ers are off to a superb start to the 2026-27 NBA season, with a 6-1 record. This comes after their latest win against the Charlotte Hornets , 109-104. It was not an easy victory because they had to come back from a double-digit deficit yet again.

That was the fourth time they had to claw back from a double-digit deficit, so it seems that the 76ers are well aware of that problem. They do not want that to become an issue, so they are ready to put that behind them.

Tyrese Maxey does not want the 76ers to get complacent after another comeback

The 76ers have been one of the most impressive teams this season, as they are actually living up to the hype. The same cannot be said for some teams this season, but the 76ers do know they are not a perfect team.

They have started with six wins and a single loss, but there could be some problems with how they approach games. The 76ers have the tendency to let the opponent take a big lead, then they rely on a big run to come back and win the game.

While that leads to some satisfying wins, it is not the most sustainable approach to games. The 76ers need to establish themselves from the jump, so they can win comfortably. It seems that star player Tyrese Maxey has the same sentiment.

"I don't want to do that; I'm tired of that. This group some fighters, man. We went up, went down, came back, you know, we're very competitive. The game's not over 'til it's over, and that's what I really like about this group," Maxey said in his post-game interview after the win against the Hornets .

With all of the awesome players the 76ers have on the roster, they are ready to win and be healthy. If they can have more comfortable results, they can afford to rest some of their star players. Maxey would love that, as they are building better contuinity for their goals of winning a title.
