The Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> weren’t playing well, and worse than that, Joel Embiid thought he was playing soft.<\/p>\n

He and James Harden have the Sixers on too good a roll to stay down too long.<\/p>\n

“We just know how to play. We just know what to do,” Embiid said.<\/p>\n

Embiid scored 35 points, Harden had 29 points and 13 assists and the 76ers blew by the New York Knicks<\/a> in the final quarter, extending their winning streak to eight games with a 119-112 victory Sunday.<\/p>\n

Georges Niang hit four 3-pointers in Philadelphia’s fourth-quarter surge and finished with 16 points, while De\u2019Anthony Melton added 15 as the 76ers got off to a good start on a four-game road trip after sweeping a seven-game homestand.<\/p>\n

“It was one of those games where you\u2019ve just got to stick around,” Harden said. “Like, stick around, stick around and then fourth quarter you give yourself a chance.”<\/p>\n

And the 76ers seized it.<\/p>\n

After never leading through three, they outscored the Knicks 24-9 to open the fourth, turning a one-point deficit into a 116-102 lead.<\/p>\n

Julius Randle scored 35 points and Jalen Brunson had 23 points and 11 assists for the Knicks, who have lost three straight following an eight-game winning streak.<\/p>\n

“Again, we\u2019re just not doing enough to win right now and that\u2019s what we have to fix,” Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said.<\/p>\n

76ERS FAN CLAPS BACK AT TROLLS WHO SAID HIS FIANC\u00c9E, A SIXERS DANCER, IS OUT OF HIS LEAGUE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Coming off a career-best, 21-assist outing on Friday, Harden played the entire second half, helped by the 76ers turning to a zone defense, and scored 18 points.<\/p>\n

Embiid scored 15 in the third quarter and Harden took over the game when Embiid went to the bench, with a four-point play and another 3-pointer that trimmed it to 96-95. He made another 3 in the opening minute of the fourth to tie it at 98, then found Niang for a 3 that gave the 76ers their first lead with 10:37 to play.<\/p>\n

Niang hit consecutive 3s midway through the period before Embiid had two baskets and Harden made one and set up the other in an 8-0 flurry that put it away at 116-102.<\/p>\n

Embiid, the NBA’s scoring leader, started slowly and the Knicks led 37-25 after one. They were still up eight when Embiid scored with 6.2 seconds remaining, and when Brunson lost the ball as New York tried to get a final shot, Shake Milton scooped it up and banked in a 50-footer at the buzzer that made it 63-60.<\/p>\n

TIP-INS<\/strong><\/p>\n

76ers: Coach Doc Rivers said PJ Tucker had some kind of pain or injury that was affecting his hand, but he wasn’t worried about it yet. … Rivers said the 76ers brought two busloads of families to the game.<\/p>\n

Knicks: The Knicks fell to 23-32 in their league-high 55 Christmas appearance. … The Knicks played their final home game of 2022. They take a three-game road trip to Texas next week that begins with Brunson’s return to Dallas on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

60-POINT PERFORMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bernard King, who set the Christmas record with 60 points in 1984, was at the game. That stood as the Knicks’ single-game scoring record until a 62-point performance on Jan. 24, 2014, by Carmelo Anthony, the former All-Star who was seated next to him and got a huge ovation when shown on the overhead videoboard in the first quarter.<\/p>\n

HARDEN AND HOUSTON<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the 76ers rolling, Harden didn’t want to think about his future. ESPN reported before the game that he is considering a return to Houston, where he played for 8 1\/2 seasons, if he decides against a new deal with Philadelphia in the summer.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m here, we\u2019re playing very well and I don\u2019t know where that report came from,” Harden said, “but I\u2019m excited to be here and we\u2019re playing well and we\u2019re continuing to get better.”<\/p>\n

UP NEXT<\/strong><\/p>\n

76ers: At Washington on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Knicks: At Dallas on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
