The Philadelphia 76ers outlasted the New York Knicks in a thriller at Madison Square Garden on Friday, ending the home team’s seven-game winning streak with a 116- 107 victory. The Sixers entered the matchup without the services of Joel Embiid (illness/knee), but saw the return of Tyrese Maxey from his two-game absence (illness).
Tyrese Maxey also returned after a 2-game absence with an illness and put up 30 points and eight assists as the Sixers knocked off the Knicks 116-107 on the road. Philadelphia played some terrific defense as it held New York to 8-for-32 shooting from beyond the arc leading to a big win.
When the Sixers and Knicks face off at Madison Square Garden, chaos and intensity typically ensue. That was no different on Friday night.
Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey might not be suiting up for the Sixers on Sunday in their road game against the Hawks.
