On a rare off-night for Jalen Brunson, the Knicks leaned on a supporting cast led by Josh Hart, Deuce McBride and Mitchell Robinson to score a playoff-opening 111-104 victory over the 76ers.
"It's definitely encouraging," said Hart, who matched Brunson with a team-high 22 points."We've been on his shoulders all season. And when he struggled, that's when we had to pick up.
But on a night when he and the rest of the Knicks starters finished with negatives in the plus-minus column, it was the contributions from others -- and especially the bench -- that allowed New York to hold home court to begin this Battle of Interstate 95. Still, even after those struggles -- and with Embiid on the bench dealing with the aftereffects of an injury scare to his knee at the end of the first half -- the 76ers still were leading in the fourth quarter. But then Hart, left wide open from 3-point range, buried three from deep to help New York surge into the lead for good.
