Kelly Oubre Jr. scores 76ers team-high 18 points
The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the New York Knicks 79-73 in an away game today, ending their three-game losing streak and handing the Knicks their ninth loss in the past 13 games. The low score of the 2 teams seems abrupt in the high-scoring environment of the NBA in recent years.
The 76ers, whose team-record 70 points in a single game were set by Joel Embiid two months ago, only scored a season-low 79 points on 80 shots today. It was the first time this season that they scored less than 92 points in a single game. The Knicks also took 80 shots and only scored 73 points. Prior to that, their lowest score in a single game this season was 87 points.

In the end, the two teams scored a total of 152 points, which was a new low in a single game in the NBA this season. The previous NBA game in which both teams scored less than 80 points dates back to more than 8 years ago, on January 6, 2016, against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Lost to the Denver Nuggets 74-78 at home.
Kelly Oubre Jr. scored a team-high 18 points for the 76ers, and Buddy Hield scored 16 points off the bench. Talking about the first quarter in which they only scored 15 points with a shooting percentage of less than 30% and missed 9 three-point attempts at the beginning, Hield said that this was the result of the two teams showing good defense: “Any defensive coach will accept it. The performance in that quarter, not offensively, but we handled a lot of the ball well. We found a way to get through it and finish the offense when we needed to.”
Nick Jalen Brunson scored a game-high 19 points and passed 8 assists, but was unable to help the Nicks win. Josh Hart, who only scored 9 points on 4 of 13 shots and made as many as 6 turnovers, said: “Obviously our shooting percentage was not good and we made a lot of turnovers. I only made 6 or 7 myself, but you have to forget about this game. Tuesday We still have to face them and try to perform better when the time comes.”
