The Sixers, now losers of nine straight, were led by the star duo of Tyrese Maxey (30 points, 12-of-32 from the field, 0-of-10 from three) and Paul George (25 points, seven assist

As the New York Knicks prepare for a postseason push, Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart were encouraged to follow Paul George's example.

The New York Knicks are slumping at the wrong time of the year. The Knicks have lost 4 of their last 10 games, and their star players, Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart have been under the scanner for their performances.

Paul George suspended his Podcast P with Paul George amid the Philadelphia 76ers’ eight-game losing streak. He reportedly wanted to focus on helping his team contend for a championship.

In the end, Jalen Brunson sealed the deal by scoring 14 of his 34 points in the fourth quarter. The first go-around for the newly podcast-less Paul George was promising but nonetheless ended in a loss. Putting aside his show was an effort to make the most of his first season with the 76ers, of which there is still a month and change left.

Paul George led the charge as the Sixers mounted a great second half effort before falling to the Knicks at MSG.

For the first time since Tyrese Maxey saved their season with a series of shots etched into franchise lore, the Sixers returned to Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night to face the New York Knicks team that eliminated them from last season's playoffs.
