NBA – Against the Clippers, the replacement leader was decisive and signed his best performance in the Sixers jersey.
Just take a look at his post-match interview to understand to what extent Cameron Payne seems to feel good with the Sixers. The replacement leader has something to smile about after his great performance on the Clippers floor.
However, anything but favorites in California, Nick Nurse’s men caused a sensation by winning with authority in Los Angeles. And Cmaron Payne was one of the important players in this victory with his 23 points (8/15 on shots including 5/10 from distance), 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in 24 minutes coming off the bench.
« I’m starting to feel really comfortable with my teammates. We start to get to know each other better, they start to know me better. The coach leaves me a little alone (smile), but for the last few games, my shots are going in and I feel good offensively », says the one who started his season in Milwaukee.
Where he had not stood out much while playing behind Damian Lillard. Since his arrival in Philadelphia, he has been given more responsibility. He has even had a series of outings with more than 10 points in recent weeks. With almost 11 points on average since he wore the Sixers jersey, the 29-year-old player is getting closer to his best years in his career, coming off the bench with the Suns.
Tyrese Maxey remains the fastest
« I just try to bring my energy into the game, to have fun. As we always say, it’s still a game in the end, so you have to make sure you have fun no matter what, whether you win or lose. So tonight, we were on the positive side, we won and had fun
», Enthuses the replacement, author of his best offensive performance of the year.
Of his 23 points scored, 13 came in the fourth quarter during which the visitors took definitive control of the match. With his 3-point baskets and his attacks from the circle, always on the left hand, he helped free Tyrese Maxey (24 points) who had had a very discreet first period.
« Tyrese gets a lot of attention when he’s on the floor, so that takes the pressure off him a little bit, once I get hot they loosen him up a little bit. I have a lot of space with him, I know I can punch those spaces, play with a little more freedom », he analyzes.
Asked who was the faster of the two, Cameron Payne was unequivocal. He imitates the noise of Formula 1 to emphasize the speed of his teammate: “ He’s faster than me, it’s very nice to play with him. This means that we can run a lot, push the tempo. » Play quickly to stay in the standings in the East, while waiting/hoping for the return of Joel Embiid.
