Jalen Brunson's Late Surge Lifts Knicks Over 76ers in Tight Contest

Brunson scores 14 of his 34 points in the final minutes as the Knicks edge the struggling 76ers, handing Philadelphia its ninth straight loss.

Jalen Brunson scored 34 points, including 14 in the final quarter, to secure the Knicks' 110-105 victory over the 76ers at Madison Square Garden.
Mikal Bridges contributed 28 points, with 19 coming in a dominant first quarter, as the Knicks overcame injuries to key players Karl-Anthony Towns and Ariel Hukporti.
The 76ers, missing All-Star center Joel Embiid for most of the season, have now lost nine consecutive games and fallen out of the top-10 playoff positions in the Eastern Conference.
Tyrese Maxey led the 76ers with 30 points despite struggling from three-point range, while Kelly Oubre Jr. and Paul George added 27 and 25 points respectively.
The Knicks improve to 38-20 on the season but continue to address challenges against top-tier teams, holding a 0-7 record against the league's top three teams.
