This is shaping out to be one hell of a duel between Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Maxey.
Brunson and Maxey each have 15 points on 50% FG or better in the first half.
Knicks lead Sixers, 49-43, and have held Joel Embiid to just 3/12 FG for 8 points.
76ers’ season on the line. – 8:12 PM

A Maxey layup at the buzzer trims New York’s lead to 6, 49-43, heading into the break. Maxey has 15 on 6-12 shooting to lead Sixers, with Tobias adding 10. Brunson ha 15 on 7-10 shooting for New York, who after missing their first 8 shots of game went 19-29 the rest of the way. – 8:11 PM

Knicks 49, 76ers 43. Embiid is 3 for 10 and doesn’t appear to have it tonight. Not sure Philly has any better option than to tell Maxey to go Allen Iverson mode and shoot as many times as it takes. – 8:11 PM

Halftime: Knicks 49, Sixers 43 after Maxey’s scooping layup at the buzzer. He’s got 15 points. Harris with 10. Embiid with 8-9-3. It’s a broken record, but the difference was the big Knicks run to open the second, primarily with Embiid on the bench. – 8:11 PM

A big takeaway for me from this series is Maxey still has a long way to go with his passing. They double Joel, he kicks out, a 3rd guy comes over to Maxey, he doesn’t move it weakside. Then he drives into 3 guys and gets stopped instead of finding Joel for a 3. – 7:54 PM

Josh Hart banks in a halfcourt heave just after the buzzer. No good.
Sixers lead Knicks, 26-17, after the first quarter.
Knicks are 0-of-5 from 3 to start this game.
– Brunson: 1/4 FG
– DiVincenzo: 1/4 FG
– Maxey: 11 points, 4/8 FG – 7:39 PM

Josh Hart’s half-court shot went in, but he let it go well after the buzzer sounded. Sixers take the first quarter 26-17, with Tyrese Maxey (11) and Tobias Harris (7) leading the way. – 7:38 PM

Sixers 26, Knicks 17 at the end of the first, after Hart’s heave is waved off because it came after the buzzer. Neither team is shooting great, but Maxey has 11 points. – 7:38 PM

Successful challenge, but only successful in the fact that the refs initially called the foul on Robinson, when it should have been on Hart. Maxey will go to the line, and NY will still have a challenge to use. – 7:36 PM

Officials call a foul on Robinson as Hart stripped Maxey — Knicks challenging. Thibodeau exasperated with the officials and we’re in the first quarter. – 7:34 PM

Joel Embiid’s first bucket coems about nine minutes into the first quarter. Before that, all of the Sixers’ points had come from Maxey and…Tobias Harris. – 7:22 PM

The Sixers have “jumped out” to a 10-2 lead early. Maxey and Harris have 5 each, but the Sixers as a team are shooting just 4-14.
Which sounds bad, but Knicks are 0-8. Sixers doing a good job on the glass, not giving New York a second opportunity yet, but the game is early. – 7:15 PM

“(PHI was) trying to run a direct post-up to Embiid…Maxey is about 32 feet from the rim & Embiid is forced out to 17 feet…almost fronted….The feeder is jammed & the catcher is covered up. Just outworking them.”
