The shorthanded New York Knicks barely scraped by the even more depleted Philadelphia 76ers Wednesday night, winning in a thrilling fashion 110-105. The Knicks improved to 38-20 on the season while the 76ers have dropped nine consecutive games and are now 20-38.
Jalen Brunson saved the Knicks down the stretch
With the Knicks playing without Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), they would need Jalen Brunson more than ever in this one. They seemed to be in the driver’s seat with a 19-point lead at one point, but a late Philadelphia rally led by Paul George and Tyrese Maxey allowed them to come back and take a four-point lead with less than three minutes left.
