This was a wire-to-wire domination. The Sixers hosted the division rival Knicks and gave them all they could eat, final score 117-91.
The Knicks had previously won 3 out of 4 but were coming off a loss last night to the Pistons and appeared to lack effort or competitiveness throughout the contest. Joel Embiid put on a show, including a highlight spin and one-handed jam, reminiscent of one of his idols, Hakeem Olajuwon. With his father, Thomas Embiid, in attendance that one may have felt extra good for the former Jayhawk.
Embiid had 17 points 7 rebounds and 6 assists at the half as the Knicks simply had no answers.
