The New York Knicks are floundering. Head coach David Fizdale’s squad has lost 10 of their last 12 games and despite a spirited effort in the first half, the Knicks allowed the Philadelphia 76ers to score at will and pull away in the second half.
The Knicks kept pace as best they could for the first three quarters, but they simply didn’t have the firepower to keep up with Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid down the stretch. Simmons posted a triple-double with 13 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists. Embbid was a benefactor of Simmons’ dishing, scoring 24 points while also corralling 10 rebounds.
