Maxey scores 36 points and the 76ers win again in New York, beating the Knicks 130
- On Saturday at Madison Square Garden, Tyrese Maxey scored 36 points on 14-of-22 shooting as the Philadelphia 76ers beat the New York Knicks 130-119.

- Maybe this is life after the NBA Cup Final, as past winners like the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers struggled, with the Bucks at 17-16 by Jan. 4 and the Lakers losing 10 of 13 games.
