NEW YORK -- The New York Knicks have dealt with adversity on the court and off of it during this disappointing season. But for one night, trouble was averted when Carmelo Anthony hit a jumper with 0.3 seconds to play to give the Knicks a 110-109 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.
New York nearly blew a 17-point lead to a Philly team playing the second game of on back-to-back nights without Joel Embiid, its best player. Had Anthony missed the shot, the Knicks would have fallen behind the Sixers into 13th place in the East.
