The New York Knicks edged the Philadelphia 76ers 112–109 on January 24 at Wells Fargo Center in a defensive battle that fell well short of the 227.5-point Vegas total. Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 31 points, complemented by OG Anunoby's 23 points, while Joel Embiid paced Philadelphia with 38 points and Tyrese Maxey added 22. New York's three-point barrage proved decisive: the Knicks made 15 threes compared to the 76ers' 9, offsetting a 50.6 percent field-goal advantage for Philadelphia. The Knicks dominated the boards with 53 rebounds to 37 and distributed 27 assists while committing just 10 turnovers, compared to Philadelphia's 13 miscues. Philadelphia's third quarter was a turning point—they managed just 13 points—allowing New York to build separation despite the 76ers' defensive rating of 116.8. The Knicks' balanced offensive output (116.8 offensive rating) and ball movement proved sufficient to secure a road victory that strengthens their positioning in the Eastern Conference race.
