Daily News | Sixers fall apart after first quarter, lose to Knicks, 108-97
NEW YORK – Joel Embiid’s record against the New York Knicks is no longer unblemished.
The Sixers blew a 21-point first-quarter lead. Then in the final quarter, they made only 3 of 16 shots -- including 0-for-6 on threes. They also surrendered wide-open shots and struggled to get clutch defensive rebounds in the final quarter. That led to the Knicks scoring 10 of their 20 second-chance points in the final quarter.
Meanwhile, James Harden added 12 points, a game-high 12 assists, and eight rebounds. Tobias Harris and De’Anthony Melton had 14 points. Tyrese Maxey added 12 points. P.J. Tucker had 10. But the Knicks responded with a 17-0 run over a span of 3:29 to close the gap to three points with 10:02 left in the half. The Sixers missed seven consecutive shots during that stretch. Harris hit a pair of foul shots with 9:44 left in the half to snap New York’s run. Then Paul Reed scored a layup on their next possession to put the Sixers up seven.The Knicks went on their 17-0 run shortly after Embiid checked out of the game.
