Tonight it was a grind opening up a three game road trip against Atlantic Division opponents, starting with the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

I'm Brian Seltzer. Let us recap now tonight's game with the highlights of the one and only Tom McGinnis Sixers looking to build off a nice victory against these Chicago Bulls at home last night. Fur Concorkmas was one of the Rose against Chicago and he was off to a hot start again. The seven Bobby Portis against Mike Scott na Tuiaan Richardson picks it up. Richards said, Zigzaggie with a dribble out the cork bos for three. He trails,

he shoots it's gun again. Cork Moss has brought us act a New York City baby, poor bas with another three sixers by three twenty six twenty three was the score part of an eight nothing run that cork Mos strung together with his back to back three pointers. Seventy sixers after one quarter of playla the next twenty eight

to twenty five. In the second quarter of the Sixers went up by as much as ten, but the Knicks battled back, and that really set in motion the back and forth battle that we saw for the rest of the nights. He was Benn Simmons nudging these seventy sixers into the lead, and now New York turns it over fed with his deal. Simmons on a drive, Simmons to Josh back to Bets. Oh Man, what a slam by Simmons and Tomahawk jam and the crowd here in New York is buzzing. A lot of Sixers fans and Simmons excite,

He's got eleven and he goes to the line for the rare four point play man a successful four point play.

It was, you know, Brett Brown said after the game last night he felt like the Sixers were able to borrow from the JJ Reddick playbook, based in the way that corkms was shooting the ball from outside the arcwall. That was like vintage JJ Reddick, a followay three pointer of the contact and the basket great stuff from fur

con Quorkmise. Seventy six Ers lead was just one. However, after three quarters seventy to sixty nine into the fourth, Josh Richardson, keeping the seventy Sixers in control, New York steals the ball Robinson and made the three and New York in the name, but they thrown away Mike Scott with it had a runout Scott dono a Richardson and richards and with a slam no. So the two teams exchange turnovers, but Scott feeds Josh and Jay rich scores it.

I mean it's seventy two seventy seventy sixers, the Knicks not going the way. Al Horford really was struggling from the field tonight. But this was a clutch shot. Then Simmons out top. Simmons fakes it back to Al. He's open, he shoots, he makes it. Al Horford puts it in. He had been one of eight, and he makes the field goal. It's a three point game of two minutes.
