The Sixers waited for the Knicks to get tired on the second night of a back-to-back, but instead were punched in the face in a terrible road loss:

When asked about the Kyrie trade, James Harden paused for a few seconds and then said: “It’s a trade that happened.”
Tobias Harris was also short when asked about how that trade could impact the East: “Nobody on the Sixers got traded today, so I don’t care about that.” – 10:31 PM

In the Sixers last two losses they:
a) had an 18 point 2nd half lead before allowing a 42-20 run in under 10 min *at home to Orl.*
b) led by 20, and gave up a 17-0 run in under 4 min to NYK. Played some weak 2-3 zone to spark Fournier.
hideous – 9:21 PM
Tommy Beer @TommyBeer
Coming into tonight, the Sixers had scored more than 100 points in 29 straight games. The last time they failed they score 100+ was in November.
The Knicks held them to 97. – 9:18 PM
Ian Begley @IanBegley
Playing a night after OT loss, NYK climbs out of early 21-pt hole to beat PHI at MSG. Evan Fournier had 17 pts on 5-8 3pt shooting. He’d been mostly out of rotation but played tonight w/RJ Barrett out. NYK bench was great. Heard execs at @EmpireStateBldg are upset w/the result – 9:12 PM
Tommy Beer @TommyBeer
Obi: +17 in 13 mins
iHart: +19 in 25 mins
Fournier: +28 in 23 mins
Deuce: +34 (!!) in 22 mins
Incredible effort from the Knicks reserves tonight. They carried NY to a surprising victory over the Sixers – 9:08 PM
Marc Berman @NYPost_Berman
Great to see 2021 draft pick Miles McBride knock down his 3’s. If he can maintain consistency there, you got something special off the bench because he’s such a team-first guy. – 9:03 PM

Final: Knicks 108, 76ers 97.
Knicks improve to 29-26, seventh in the East.
• Randle 24-9-7
• Brunson 21-5-7
• Fournier 17 pts, 5-8 3Ps
• McBride 14-3-2
• Embiid 31-14-3
Knicks come back from down 21 to win. – 9:01 PM

Every Knicks fan on earth thought NY was gonna blow most of, if not all, that big lead in how 4th quarter

Final: Knicks 108, 76ers 97.
Rough loss for Philly, which had a 21-point first quarter lead and shot 3-for-16 in the fourth.
And a big win for the Knicks after last night’s heartbreak.
Knicks now a half-game back of Miami for 6th. – 9:01 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Hilarious (maybe not to you) stat:
Montrezl Harrell (-15) and Paul Reed (-14) had the best plus/minus among Sixers bench players tonight.
Horrendous loss. phillyvoice.com/instant-observ…9:01 PM
Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Sixers lose to Knicks, 108-97. They are 34-18.
Poor shooting, turnovers and no rebounding in the second half. Even Embiid (rebounding, turnovers) and Harden (defense) aren’t blameless.
But Doc Rivers loves him some all-bench lineups and got absolutely burned by that tonight. – 9:01 PM
Alan Hahn @alanhahn
This team is FAR from perfect, but man they COMPETE. #Knicks9:01 PM
Austin Krell @NBAKrell
New York got quite literally every rebound it wanted in the fourth quarter, when back-to-back legs typically come into play and teams get sluggish.
They simply wiped the Sixers off the court in the execution department. – 9:00 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
FINAL: Knicks 108, Sixers 97. Given the way the Sixers have been rolling the last several weeks, every loss feels a bit jarring. But safe to say both 21-point blown leads this week were among the worst of the season. Embiid with 31-14-3.
Up next: Wednesday at Boston. – 8:59 PM

Nice round of applause for Evan Fournier after fouling out. Fournier, who has largely been out of the rotation, had 17 points off the bench with RJ Barrett (illness) unavailable today, as New York is on the verge of a huge win after an OT loss to the Clippers last night. – 8:54 PM

The Sacramento Kings’ worst defeat of the season was a 20-point loss against the Philadelphia 76ers on Dec. 13.

The Knicks are on the second night of a back-to-back and went to overtime last night. Down 2 starters. Sixers were up 21 in the first quarter.
If you want that 2-seed or better, you have to win this game.
Not over yet, but this one would go in the “unacceptable” column. – 8:42 PM

Montrezl Harrell is -15 in 3:17 tonight.
Paul Reed is -14 in 8:25.
That’s how Joel Embiid can be +26 in 30 minutes and Philly can be losing 91-88 with 5:21 remaining.
Sixers led by as many as 21 in the first quarter of this one. – 8:32 PM

Austin Krell @NBAKrell
This run without Embiid is not necessarily the product of anything Paul Reed is or is not doing.
But, the clear theme tonight has been “win the Embiid minutes, hope the non-Embiid minutes don’t kill you”.
-29 in 10:27 without Embiid on the floor. – 8:25 PM
Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Early int he fourth quarter, Joel Embiid is plus-25 in 29 minutes. His team is down four.
The Sixers’ two backup centers are a combined minus-29 in ten minutes. – 8:25 PM
Fred Katz @FredKatz
Hard to believe, but 11 points is tied for the most Fournier has scored since October. Playing real hard defensively, too, on a night when he didn’t know he’d be playing until a second before the game started. – 8:24 PM
Tommy Beer @TommyBeer
Great job by the Knicks reserves at the start of the 4th for the third straight game.
Also credit to Thibs for (as requested) staggering Brunson and Randle’s mins so Brunson is on the floor at the start of the 4th – 8:24 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
Joel Embiid is a +25 with 8:43 left in the fourth quarter.
Sixers are down 4 – 8:23 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
And this game has officially flipped. Knicks are on a 10-0 run, fueled by 3s by Toppin and Fournier. Timeout Sixers trailing 86-82 with less than nine minutes to play. Sixers once led by 21 points. – 8:23 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Knicks are on a 10-0 run and lead it 86-82 off that Evan Fournier triple. This is New York’s largest lead of the night. Timeout Doc Rivers. #Sixers8:23 PM

JJ Redick casually dropping advanced defensive rating splits with Maxey on vs Melton on with starters. Hopefully a new standard for analysis here. We’ve had to listen to super boring, basic, less informed stuff for decades. pic.twitter.com/DlN2SwQM1a8:13 PM

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Sixers 79, Knicks 76 after a tough shot off the glass by Quickley (over college teammate Tyrese Maxey) just before the buzzer. Felt like there were a couple times the Sixers could have stretched the lead in that period, but Knicks kept hanging around. Embiid with 25-13-3. – 8:13 PM

Harden looks like he’s ready for the all star BREAK… (is doc taking Maxey off the bench literally tonight? Just 15 min?) – 8:10 PM

Halftime: Sixers 53, Knicks 51. After leading by 21 points in the first, the Sixers’ offense torpedoed in the second quarter. Embiid has 14 and 8. Harden is 1-of-5 from the floor but has 10 assist and 4 rebounds. – 7:27 PM

Philadelphia leads it 53-51 at halftime after leading by as many as 21. The bench unit wasn’t great, which is putting it lightly, and the Knicks took advantage. Joel Embiid has 18 and 8, James Harden has 10 assists, and Tobias Harris has 9 and 6. #Sixers7:27 PM

Doc Rivers all bench unit kicked off a 17-0 Knicks run and got the msg crowd absolutely revved up. He’s either planning to use it in the playoffs or he’s not… and if he’s not… why deploy it every game now? No value in rehearsing your playoff rotations yet? – 7:13 PM

I did a search for best 5 man lineups who have played at least 10 games. Found interesting things; 76ers had 2 bench/starters lineups in top 6. Denver, Warriors, Hawks top 3 starting groups. Lakers best lineup ranks 6th overall, and doesn’t include AD. Can someone ✅ if accurate? – 5:20 PM

Kyrie Irving is going to be able to tell his children and grandchildren that he played with LeBron James, Jayson Tatum, Kevin Durant, James Harden and Luka Doncic yet won just one championship.
Or, maybe he will leave that part out. – 5:04 PM

What Joel Embiid is doing as a center who mixes scoring volume and efficiency is absolutely absurd, and he just keeps getting better.
Here’s his progression among the 1,357 qualified seasons in which a player has scored at least 20 PPG. pic.twitter.com/cH49I2owNk4:42 PM

Crazy when you think about the Nets point guard debacle during their 10 years in Brooklyn…
– Deron Williams
– Jeremy Lin
– D’Lo/Dinwiddie
– James Harden
– Kyrie Irving
– Ben Simmons – 4:34 PM

Including this season, 1,357 qualified seasons have seen a player average at least 20 points per game.
Nikola Jokic, Kevin Durant, and Joel Embiid are all putting up historic figures in 2022-23 and deserve plenty of appreciation! pic.twitter.com/x2aC856pdh4:34 PM

The Sixers are listing Joel Embiid (four) as questionable for tonight’s game at MSG.
He’s been questionable in five straight games and played in each one, but Philly is only favored by 4 points despite NY on being on a back-to-back. Does Vegas think Embiid will be sit tonight? – 4:24 PM
Tom Haberstroh @tomhaberstroh
Kyrie Irving played 143 of a possible 278 regular season games during his Brooklyn Nets tenure. Barely half.
KD and Kyrie played together in 74 of a possible 206 games after KD returned from his Achilles injury.
KD-Kyrie-Harden played 10 games.
KD-Kyrie-Simmons played 24. – 4:19 PM

Looking back… KD, Harden and Kyrie is the biggest let down in NBA history. It will be an @espn 30 for 30 short… – 4:19 PM

Frazier/Monroe. West/Goodrich. More recently Harden/Paul. Guys who were all awesome as singular players who learned how to play great as duo. As long as Luka and Kyrie want it to work, it will work – 3:41 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
There was a real chance the Mavericks were never going to get another All-Star if they didn’t move on Kyrie.
They just didn’t have the assets to win a bidding war against the Knicks, Thunder, Rockets, Jazz, Pels or Grizzlies.
They had to do this here and now. This is their shot – 3:38 PM

Final: Magic 119, Hornets 113.
At 22-32, Orlando has already matched its win total from last season.
The Magic go 3-1 on the road trip with victories over the 76ers, Timberwolves and Hornets. – 3:21 PM
Tommy Beer @TommyBeer
Instead of re-signing Jalen Brunson (could have inked him to a four-year, $55 million deal 12 months ago), Dallas ends trading Dinwiddie and Finney-Smith and an unprotected first-round pick to Brooklyn for Kyrie Irving.
Big Yikes.

Reminder that the Knicks have the Mavericks’ top-10 protected first-rounder this summer. The pick will almost certainly convey this year. Only question is, where will it be? – 3:13 PM
Frank Isola @TheFrankIsola
Our business plan is to not re-sign Jalen Brunson but instead trade for Kyrie….next on Shark Tank – 3:11 PM
Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears
Had a hunch from start of Kyrie Irving’s trade request that Dallas could be the spot. Big signature trade for Mavs President Nico Harrison after losing Jalen Brunson to the Knicks. Harrison has long old Nike ties to Kyrie. J-Kidd will be a great fit, too. Luka-Kyrie monster duo. pic.twitter.com/WQ88kxkTnA3:09 PM
John Hollinger @johnhollinger
Mavs’ next-available first is in 2025, provided they convey pick to Knicks this year. If not it pushes to 2026, then to 2027. Trade likely to be worded as “first available”
Mavs can trade seconds in 2025, 2027 and 2029. The 2025 is conditional on first-rounder above conveying. – 3:07 PM
Mark Deeks @MarkDeeksNBA
I understand saying Cam Reddish on the surface and thinking “hey, we might be able to pick up the next Kelly Oubre on the cheap”. But he’s not gotten anywhere in four years, so if you’re seeing that sort of curve in him, it’s because you want to see it, not because it’s there. – 2:45 PM

The #sixers have basically been shaving points by avoiding certain winning lineup combos like Embiid-Thybulle. I guess cause they don’t “trust it for playoffs.” Fine! Just go get the 1 seed then go back to what’s been less effective later. pic.twitter.com/J1PFreoCAO12:25 PM
