A balanced Sixers attack kept the team neck-and-neck with the Knicks for most of the evening, and crunch-time heroics from Dario Saric and the gang helped the team edge out a 105-102 win against the Knicks on Friday night.
Fresh off one of their worst losses this season, Philadelphia came out with a purpose against New York. They worked through some early adversity — including foul trouble for a surging Saric — and hung in during a splendid first half performance from Carmelo Anthony.
Seven Sixers (heh) hit double digits on the scoresheet, and Saric led the way in the fourth quarter with a brilliant performance in the clutch.
