Coming off a demoralizing loss in what was a very winnable matchup with the Boston Celtics a day ago, the 76ers turned it around on Wednesday night and took care of business against another Atlantic Division rival, beating the New York Knicks 126-111. With this latest loss to Philadelphia, a clean sweep on the season series, the hapless Knicks extend their franchise record for consecutive defeats to 18 games.
Aside from New York jumping out to a four-point lead early in the first quarter, the Sixers remained ahead from the jump and lead by as many as 26 points.
