Tyrese Maxey is stressing the little things to the Philadelphia 76ers following their Game 3 loss to the Boston Celtics.

PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia 76ers walked out of Xfinity Mobile Arena on Friday night facing a new challenge. They fell to the Boston Celtics 108-100 in Game 3 and now face a 2-1 series deficit and have lost home court advantage back to the Celtics. The Sixers had their chances, but it was the little things here and there that turned the game back in Boston's favor.

For example, key offensive rebounds down the stretch that the Celtics were able to grab that allowed them extra possessions and they converted on them. It was a key foul on Adem Bona that allowed Boston to get another look at the basket. It's stuff like that where the Sixers have to be better going forward and Tyrese Maxey knows it.

The margin for error is razor thin in the playoffs. "100%," Maxey said after the loss. "A turnover leads to a basket.
