Brunson's dominant performance, coupled with a strong defensive effort from the Knicks, snapped their six-game losing streak and improved their record to 11-13.

The Knicks have struggled offensively this season, but Brunson's recent surge has provided a much-needed spark.

The 76ers were led by Joel Embiid, who finished with 27 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 assists. However, Embiid struggled with his efficiency, shooting just 10-of-23 from the field. James Harden added 20 points and 7 assists, but the 76ers' offense sputtered in the second half.
