The New York Knicks emerged victorious over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday evening by a score of 103–96. New York snapped Philadelphia’s six-game winning streak and four-game winning streak at home to get back in the win column after a disappointing defeat to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday.
The Knicks have had trouble with hustle and effort at times this season, scoring just 14 points in the third quarter but playing good enough defense to hold Philadelphia to under 100 points. However, several essential players were out due to COVID-19 protocols, including Tobias Harris and Joel Embiid.
