Embiid-less Sixers claw back to force OT before falling to Knicks

It’s a shame we probably won’t get six more games of this in the spring again.

After going down 13 at halftime, the Sixers came all the way back to force overtime but fell 125-119 to the New York Knicks Wednesday night.

Joel Embiid missed his sixth straight game with a foot sprain, while Karl Anthony-Towns was out for New York with a sprained thumb.

Tyrese Maxey had another good night from inside but struggled from out. He led the Sixers with 33 points, shooting 13-of-32 and 2-of-9 from three. Paul George had another big second half, finishing with 26 points and six assists.
