PHILADELPHIA — Knicks coach David Fizdale said this retooling season is dedicated now to “small victories.”
Here’s one. The last time the Knicks were here 2 1/2 weeks ago, they got their heads handed back to them in a 28-point slaughter.
Wednesday at Wells Fargo Center was more civilized. The Knicks moved within three points midway through the third quarter and wound up losing by 22.
Their defense still a mess, the Knicks allowed a 69-point first half and suffered their eighth defeat in nine tries — a 131-109 loss to the Sixers.
