T.J. McConnell's 12 - foot basket at the buzzer sealed the home win for the Sixers. Joel Embiid's 21 - point, 14 - rebound double - double led Philadelphia. Ersan Ilyasova supplied 16 points, while Robert Covington and Nerlens Noel turned in matching 13 - point efforts. Gerald Henderson was productive in a reserve role with 12 points. McConnell compiled a modest but full stat line of eight points, seven assists, six rebounds and two steals. Carmelo Anthony's 28 points paced the Knicks and Derrick Rose, fresh off an infamous one - game absence, was right behind with 25 points. The remainder of the starting five, Courtney Lee, Porzingis and Joakim Noah, underwhelmed, as they were only able to produce a trio of seven - point efforts Wednesday. Kyle O'Quinn led the bench with a 10 - point, 15 - rebound double - double that also included three assists, two steals and two blocks.
