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.
  • The New York Knicks' defense repeatedly failed to get stops, a key factor in their three-game losing streak despite investing heavily in OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges.
  • Scoring support arrived from rookie VJ Edgecombe, who scored 26 points on 10-of-16 shooting and helped ignite a 9-0 run, while Joel Embiid finished with 26 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists, and Paul George added 15 points.
  • The Knicks have a day off before flying to Detroit on Monday to face the top-seeded Pistons, while the Philadelphia 76ers return home to host Denver on Monday.
  • 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.
