The Knicks had a 19-point lead at one point, but the 76ers, led by Tyrese Maxey with 30 points, mounted a comeback that briefly gave them the lead. Despite missing key player Karl-Anthony Towns due to injury, the Knicks managed to hold on with contributions from Mikal Bridges, who scored 28 points, and Josh Hart, who grabbed 17 rebounds. The 76ers, who were without Joel Embiid, suffered their ninth consecutive loss, further dimming their playoff hopes.
