Tyrese Maxey and Paul George led the Sixers in a furious second-half comeback to claw their way back from a 19-point deficit to take a late lead, but Jalen Brunson took over the game in the final minutes of the fourth, scoring 9 straight for the Knicks in the decisive stretch. The loss is the 9th straight defeat for the Sixers, who fell to 20-38 on the season.
