The Philadelphia 76ers came from low to high in Madison Square Garden to finish beating the New York Knicks 119-112 thanks to the great work of their star duo Joel Embiid and James Harden.
Embiid led his team to an eighth straight win with 35 points and 8 rebounds on 12-of-22 shooting from the field, and ‘La Barba’ contributed a new double-double with 29 points and 13 field goal passes.
Other Sixers hits included De’Anthony Melton with 15 points on 5/7 on 3-pointers; and the reserve Georges Niang, decisive in the final stretch, with 16 points thanks to a 4/6 from long range.
“These 3 points… This was my gift to all Philadelphia fans,” Niang said.
