NEW YORK -- All season, the New York Knicks have gone as far as Jalen Brunson could carry them.

But when Brunson had an uncharacteristically off night against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday at Madison Square Garden, his teammates were there to pick up the slack.

There was Josh Hart hitting a season-high four 3-pointers, including three in the final quarter. There was Brunson's backup, Deuce McBride, going for 21 points and finishing with a game-best 37 plus-minus. And there was Mitchell Robinson coming off the bench to grab seven of New York's 23 offensive rebounds.
