New York Knicks (20-15) had won two straight coming into tonight’s game at the Wells Fargo Center, but the Philadelphia 76ers (23-11) are a formidable foe, ranking in the top five for both offense and defense. Could the new-look Knicks deliver against top competition?
You betcha. Despite an early setback, the Knicks went on a 16-2 run, fueled by Miles McBride’s four three-pointers. Their momentum continued to the tune of 75 first-half points. Jalen Brunson’s outstanding performance, coupled with Josh Hart’s all-around contributions, played a pivotal role in their success against Joel Embiid and the Phillies.
