After a gritty win over the Orlando Magic on Thursday, fueled by another Julius Randle triple-double, the New York Knicks geared up for a rivalry game.
The team hosted the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday night and got some good news before tip-off. Though Derrick Rose remained out due to health protocols, Immanuel Quickley was back to add depth at the point. Even better, Mitchell Robinson was back after missing 15 games with a broken hand.
Furthermore, the Knicks sought to avenge a heartbreaking loss at Philly’s hands on Mar.
