On Sunday, the Philadelphia 76ers (36-28) won a 79-73 wrestling match at Madison Square Garden. In stark contrast to that trash heap, the New York Knicks (37-27) easily took an early lead in tonight’s rematch. Buoyed by a strong return from OG Anunoby, consistent leadership from Jalen Brunson, and excellent shooting, they entered intermission up 59-44. In the third quarter, Philly almost cut the lead to single-digits, but New York rebounded and then some. After taking a 30+ lead in the fourth, New York redeemed the sins of Sunday with a 106-79 win.
That’s right.
