Philadelphia 76ers vs New York Knicks Analysis
Friday’s victory over the San Antonio Spurs saw the Philadelphia 76ers continue their impressive play. Joel Embiid scored 33 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, while Tyrese Maxiey added 25. Embiid was unsurprisingly listed as questionable due to a sore left leg. He was only 10 for 18, 2 for 3, and 11 for 13 on free-throws. In a game that the 76ers won, Embiid played just 29 minutes. Harden stated that he felt fine after he left the game for the locker room. He had fallen on his elbow in the second half. Harden started the second half after returning early for warmups. It looked serious when Harden went down initially with the injury. Joel Embiid is the 76ers’ best hope of winning the title, but Harden must be healthy to be considered serious in the Eastern Conference.
After a late game overturn, the Knicks almost lost the game but won with a gritty win of 106-104 over the Miami Heat on Thursday. New York Knicks won the game after Erik Spoelstra correctly challenged an offensive call that made a Heat foul into another Knicks turnover. Tyler Herro missed the buzzer with his potential game-winner. RJ Barrett scored 30 points, just one game after he was benched in quarter four. New York ended a two-game losing streak, despite not having Jalen Brunson as point guard. He was ill with something unrelated to COVID-19. Immanuel Quincy started for Brunson, scoring eight points and grabbing six rebounds. New York was ahead but continues to lose late-game turnovers which keep teams alive. Their record against Philadelphia is 28-25.
