"The New York Knicks rode into the 2026 NBA All-Star break on a winning note after demolishing the Philadelphia 76ers in a 138-89 road victory in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Wednesday night. Trade deadline acquisition Jose Alvarado led the Knicks in scoring with 26 points off the bench, while Karl-Anthony Towns secured another double-double behind a 21-point, 11-rebound effort. The win improves the Knicks to 35-20 on the 2025-26 campaign, while sending Philly to further down to Atlantic Division standings at 30-24."
"It was one of the easier viewings for Knicks fans this season. New York recorded consecutive 36-point scoring efforts in the opening quarters that left the visitors with a 30-point halftime advantage. New York's starting unit enjoyed a leisurely view from the bench as the final 10 minutes of the game drained off the clock in the lopsided win."
