3 observations: Tobias Harris, Sixers rally past tough Knicks at home
Tobias #Tobias
These are not the same New York Knicks. Under new coach Tom Thibodeau, they have been very good on the defensive end of the floor, they have been a physical bunch, and they have been a tough team to get past.
The Philadelphia 76ers found that out on Tuesday as they were locked in a battle all night, but they were able to somehow, someway find their way to be on top when the final buzzer sounded 99-96 to pick up another win. Tobias Harris led the way with 30 points and six rebounds as Philadelphia rallied from double-digits to win this one.
Ben Simmons added 16 points, seven assists, and 13 rebounds, Seth Curry was big in the second half as he had 20 points with 17 coming after halftime, Dwight Howard had 11 and 12 rebounds, and Furkan Korkmaz had 12.
