win<\/a> since acquiring OG Anunoby in a trade with Toronto. Donte DiVincenzo also made four 3s and scored 14 points.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been great how we\u2019ve been able to integrate so quickly,\u201d Brunson said. \u201cWe just have to continue to improve.\u201d<\/p>\n
Joel Embiid twisted his left knee early \u2014 \u201cEverything will be fine,\u201d he said \u2014 and had 30 points and 10 rebounds for the Sixers. Embiid extended his franchise records to 16 consecutive 30-point games and 15 consecutive 30-point, 10-rebound games.<\/p>\n
Still, the Knicks turned this one into an adventure early and their visiting fans only got louder as the game wore on, chanting “Go New York, Go New York, Go” in the final moments of rout. The Knicks were thrilled with another win with Anunoby, who scored 11 points, alongside them.<\/p>\n
Hart and Brunson sat on the scorer's table during a second-half timeout and chatted, their bond as close in New York as it was on the Main Line.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re a pretty good post-trade team,\u201d Hart said. “Maybe we can make some more trades. No one here. Maybe some picks for 2040, or something like that. Keep going until the trade deadline until we can I don't more.<\/p>\n
Miles McBride, who had 15 points, hit two 3s in the final 90 seconds of the first quarter to take a 34-30 lead. Brunson took control from there, playing like the star he blossomed into in the NBA. <\/p>\n
Philly fans got a glimpse of what to expect during Brunson's three seasons at Villanova. Against the 76ers, he buried three 3s and scored 16 points in the second quarter \u2014 in the same arena where two Villanova national championship banners he helped win are raised in the rafters. Fans wearing Brunson's No. 1 Villanova jersey dotted the crowd.<\/p>\n
Brunson was even called by Allen Iverson for a halftime hug. The former 76ers star sat courtside in the first half and received a roaring ovation when he was introduced to the crowd.<\/p>\n
Tyrese Maxey scored 27 for the Sixers, who lost third-leading scorer Tobias Harris (17.3 ppg) to left ankle soreness. Harris had just five points in 24 minutes. The 76ers committed 14 turnovers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think we took them lightly,\u201d Maxey said. \u201cThey just punched us in the mouth at the end of that first (quarter).\u201d<\/p>\n
Embiid looked sluggish in his second game since missing four in a row with a sprained right ankle. No longer bothered by the knee, Embiid moved slowly \u2013 when he moved at all.<\/p>\n
Late in the first half, Julius Randle missed a jumper and Embiid made no rebound attempts. Hart cut untouched under Embiid for an uncontested tip-in and a 15-point lead.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just a really tough night for us,\u201d Philadelphia coach Nick Nurse said. \u201cIt was 3s, free throws, layups \u2013 everything didn\u2019t seem to be bouncing our way.\u201d<\/p>\n
FOLLOWING<\/p>\n
The Knicks play Saturday at Washington.<\/p>\n
It's doubtful whether Harris will play when the 76ers host Utah on Saturday.<\/p>\n
