Tuesday Highlights

Knicks 108, 76ers 102

It was easy to assume Wednesday's Eastern Conference contest would be a blowout after the Knicks won Game 1 by 39 points and when Joel Embiid was ruled out with ankle and hip injuries.

Yet that was anything but the case as Philadelphia and New York went back and forth throughout a heated battled until the Knicks finally created just enough breathing room in the closing minutes of a 108-102 victory.

The game was tied at 99 with fewer than six minutes remaining when Jalen Brunson scored the next four points before Mikal Bridges drilled a step-back jumper.

The home team never looked back from there and put the game away with strong defense and clutch free-throw shooting.

Brunson led the way like he so often does with 26 points and six assists, while Karl-Anthony Towns notched a double-double of 20 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists.

OG Anunoby added 24 points in support.

Tyrese Maxey did what he could for the visitors without Embiid and finished with 26 points and six assists, but it was the Knicks who made the biggest plays with the game on the line.
