NBAWednesday, 13 March 2024 at 04:16
These 2 teams faced off on Sunday in the lowest scoring game since 2016, where Philadelphia came out on top 79-73. In this game, the New York Knicks got their revenge, as they defeated the 76ers 106-79 at Madison Square Garden behind Josh Hart’s huge triple-double. OG Anunoby come back.
OG Anunoby returned for the Knicks after an 18-game absence to an elbow injury, and when he’s in the lineup New York looks like a totally different team. They are 13-2 with him in the lineup and 8-10 without him, showing how valuable he is on the court.
Josh Hart was the hero in this game though, as he finished with 20 points, 19 rebounds, and 10 assists. Jalen Brunson scored 20 points with 9 assists and 4 made threes. Donte DiVincenzo also drained 4 triples and ended with a total of 16 points. In his return, OG Anunoby recorded 14 points while Precious Achiuwa and Miles McBride each contributed 13 points off the bench.
Kelly Oubre Jr. led his team in scoring with 19 points with 3 made triples. Tyrese Maxey had 17 points while Paul Reed finished with 14 points and 8 boards off the bench. Tobias Harris struggled in this game, scoring just 2 points on 1/6 shooting.
New York improves to 38-27 with this win and remain the 4th seed in the East, sitting 3 games behind the struggling Cavs for the 3rd seed. The Knicks are starting to get their players healthy which is a welcoming sight for this franchise. When at full strength, this team can compete with anyone in the conference so they will look to build some momentum before the start of the playoffs. They are 5-5 over their last 10 games and will face off against the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday.
Philadelphia falls to 36-29 with this loss and drop to the 7th seed, sitting 0.5 games behind the Pacers for the 6th seed. This is the 3rd game in a row that the 76ers failed to score 100 points and 2nd straight game that they finished with just 79 points. It’s been a struggle for this offense without Joel Embiid and they are looking for answers before the playoffs start next month. They are 4-6 over their last 10 games and will look to bounce back on Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks.
