Kemba Walker had shown little for the Knicks to get excited about much of the night Monday. But in a flurry late in the game with the result still in the balance, there was a moment.
He had run a play with Julius Randle, freeing the Knicks star for a three-point field goal, and then with the Knicks up by six on the 76ers he repeated the set, but this time the defense floated to Randle and Walker burst into the lane, dropping in a floater over the outstretched hands of the defense and drawing a foul.
