Joel Embiid showed up to Madison Square Garden donning a nice pair of jeans, a matching hoodie, jacket and sneakers. The All-NBA center’s attire drew a reaction because he usually wears sweats, shorts and slippers.
The Sixers improved to 20-12 and extended their winning streak to eight games. Meanwhile, the Knicks dropped their third straight loss. That’s when Harden took up the slack. After a Georges Niang basket, Harden scored the Sixers’ final seven points of the quarter. That closed the gap to one point.He continued where he left off at the start of the fourth. His three-pointer 49 seconds into the quarter knotted the score at 98. Then his ninth assist of the game came on a three-pointer by Niang to give the Sixers a 101-98 lead 33 seconds later.
Embiid missed four of his six first-quarter shots. One of his attempts was a post-up shot that went over the rim. Meanwhile, Harris missed all three of his three-point attempts en route to a 1-for-4 shooting quarter.
