NBA
Regular Season Round 81: Philadelph.76 - New York K. 91-98
Date: January 21, 2015
Suddenly the New York Knicks have a winning streak. Losers of a franchise-record 16 straight games before beating New Orleans on Monday, the Knicks toppled the Philadelphia 76ers 98-91 on Wednesday night behind 27 points and 11 rebounds from forward Carmelo Anthony. Guard Jose Calderon added 15 points and seven assists for the Knicks, who at 7-36 still have the NBA's worst record. Guard Michael Carter-Williams had 27 points, seven assists and six rebounds to lead Philadelphia (8-34), which has dropped three in a row and owns the league's second-worst mark. Forward Robert Covington added 17 points for the Sixers, who were without their leading scorer, guard Tony Wroten, for the fifth straight game because of a sprained right knee. Forward Luc Mbah (knee contusion) and center/forward Nerlens Noel (upper respiratory infection) also sat out. The Sixers, who trailed by 14 points early in the third quarter and by 12, 74-62, at the end of that period, clawed within three on three occasions late in the game. Each time New York had the answer, the last was Calderon's 3-pointer from the left wing with 4:23 left, making it 85-79. The Sixers were no closer than four the rest of the way, in part because Anthony went 6-for-6 at the foul line in the final 3:55. The final nail was an off-balance 3-pointer from the left corner by rookie guard Langston Galloway with 15.2 seconds left. Galloway chased down a loose ball after Sixers forward Jerami Grant blocked a shot at the rim by New York forward Jason Smith, Grant's eighth block of the game, and sank the shot to make it 96-89. The teams muddled through a first quarter that ended in an 18-18 tie, the Sixers having shot 36.4 percent and the Knicks 30.4 percent. After exchanging the lead eight times in that period, the teams exchanged it twice more in the second quarter, with the Knicks finally getting some breathing room courtesy of an 18-7 flurry late in the period featuring five points by Anthony. That helped New York claim a 49-42 halftime lead, at which point Anthony and Calderon had 10 points apiece. Carter-Williams was 6-for-17 from the floor in leading the Sixers with 14 first-half points. Anthony opened the second half by drilling 3-pointers on consecutive possessions, triggering a 10-3 flurry that helped New York extend its lead to 59-45 with 9:25 left in the period. He notched nine points in the third quarter in all, which ended with the Knicks ahead, 74-62. Courtesy of: wyff4.com
