The Knicks are packed with power forwards and not much else, so the Philadelphia 76ers got into a halfcourt slug-fest with the rare team bigger than them. New York was without its starting backcourt of Dennis Smith Jr. and R.J. Barrett due to injury, but Detroit castoff Reggie Bullock and multi-team castoff Elfrid Payton torched them in the second half.
So, instead of blowing them out, like most teams, the 76ers trailed the Knicks (the freakin’ Knicks!) by a point with less than 30 second to go in the game.
