Philadelphia 76ers Stumble as New York Knicks' Offensive Surge Steals the Show at Xfinity Mobile Arena
First Quarter

Despite Tyrese Maxey's efforts, contributing significantly to the team's early points, Philadelphia managed only 23 points in this quarter. Meanwhile, the Knicks capitalized on their opportunities and scored an impressive 36 points.
Second Quarter
As the second quarter unfolded, things did not improve for Philadelphia. The Sixers added just 19 more points to their tally before halftime. The Knicks maintained their offensive momentum by matching their first-quarter output with another set of 36 points. This left Philadelphia trailing significantly as they headed into halftime.
Third Quarter
In an attempt to rally back in the third quarter, Maxey continued his offensive push alongside contributions from Dominick Barlow and VJ Edgecombe. However, despite scoring a better total of 29 points during this period and improving fast-break efficiency to reach a commendable rate of success on fast-break attempts (64 percent), they still couldn't close the gap significantly due to New York's consistent scoring pace.
Fourth Quarter
The final quarter saw no respite for Philadelphia as they struggled defensively against a relentless Knicks offense that tallied up another solid performance with 34 additional points. The Sixers could only muster up an additional 18 points themselves before time expired at Xfinity Mobile Arena.
The game concluded with a decisive victory for New York over Philadelphia by a scoreline of "138-89". This result highlighted what went wrong for Philadelphia: defensive lapses and missed opportunities on offense were evident throughout all quarters.
