Thanks to two free throws of Tobias Harris (20 points at 5/18, 4 rebounds, 4 assists) 5.3 seconds from the overtime buzzer but also a last shot missed by nothing by Julius Randle (24 points at 7/23, 7 rebounds, 3 assists), the 76ers won 101-100 at Madison Square Garden Sunday night. A 15th straight win against the Knicks for Philadelphia, who on 8 wins in 10 games, reached 30 wins this season
Their team led 96-93 in OT after two 3-point Danny Green, Alec Burks and R.J. Barrett scored one after the other then Reggie Bullock added a 3-point that gave New York a 4-point lead, 100-96. Harris put it in from a distance, then Randle took his 4th foul as Harris tried to catch a rebound after a Sixer miss Shake Milton. Tom Thibodeau seemed to want to ask for the challenge but the action was not reviewed by the referees and Harris put in his 2 throws.
The 76ers ahead of 88-85 on a Danny Green at the end of regulation time, the game had gone into overtime after 2 failed throws from Harris and a 3-point from Randle in stride to tie at 88 everywhere.
