Robert Covington PF GTD Jan 5

Sixers got off to a strong start in the 1st quarter, but Knicks caught fire from the 3pt line (11 - 18) and hold an 8pt lead in the 2nd.

Knicks are rolling on offense and defense. Sixers can't buy a bucket.

Brunson put on a show in the 1st half. Knicks put up 75pts in the 1st half and take a 20pt lead into halftime.

Sixers are wasting too many opportunities on the offensive end with turnovers and missed free throws to get back in the game.

Philly's defense was considerably better in the 3rd quarter, but on the offensive end they failed to capitalize on numerous chances to turn this into a close game.

Maxey with a chance to cut the deficit to 10, misses a wide open 3ball. Knicks get a trey from Grimes on the other end to boost the lead to 16.

Definitely not the Sixers night.

Embiid has 28,.Maxey with 27 and no one else shows up.

Sixers bench with 6pts. Meanwhile, bench scrubs for the Knicks burying 3s.

The Marcus Morris feel good story might be coming to an end. He's -24 tonight with zero points in 16 minutes.
