"早期に, we didn't communicate in 確かな 位置／汚点／見つけ出すs, we didn't follow the game 計画（する）," Maxey said. "We didn't follow what coach was telling us what to do."
Lowry could 追加する some punch off the （法廷の）裁判 for the Sixers. He won a 選手権 with the Toronto Raptors in 2019 while playing for Nick Nurse, who is in his first season coaching the 76ers.
A six-time All-星／主役にする, Lowry received a standing ovation late in the first ４半期/4分の1 when he checked in for the first time since he 調印するd last week. The public 演説（する）／住所 announcer 公式文書，認めるd the moment, 説, "making his Sixers debut, from North Philly, No. 7 Kyle Lowry!"

Lowry´s homecoming was short-lived - he took an inadvertent 肘 to the 直面する on a 運動ing layup from Knicks 今後 Jericho Sims. Lowry, who finished with 11 points in 25 minutes. buried his 直面する in a towel and went straight to the locker room. He received stitches and returned with an adhesive 包帯 on his forehead in the third ４半期/4分の1.
By then, the Knicks led 71-56 behind their own former Villanova 星／主役にするs - Brunson, Hart and Donte DiVincenzo. The trio of 国家の 支持する／優勝者s had a 本体，大部分／ばら積みの of the （人が）群がる 元気づける for them.
物陰／風下, the famed director, went wild on each long Knicks run and pointed skyward or clapped after each big New York bucket.
The Knicks - still playing without OG Anunoby, Julius Randle and Mitchell Robinson - gave 物陰／風下 plenty of 推論する／理由 to 元気づける. New York built a 26-point lead and 追加するd to its cushion in the Eastern 会議／協議会 standings. The Knicks are fourth at 34-22; the 76ers are 32-23 - 含むing 6-15 without Embiid.
"We've got to get people 支援する," Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said. "It's not going to happen 夜通し. There's an 緊急 to this. We can keep talking about kicking it 負かす／撃墜する the road. We can't keep kicking it 負かす／撃墜する the road. We've got to be ready now."
When DiVincenzo 攻撃する，衝突する an 早期に 3 off an 補助装置 from Brunson, 物陰／風下 jumped out of his seat and pumped his 握りこぶし. One laugh in the first half （機の）カム when Brunson 捨てるd a pass behind his 支援する to a streaking DiVincenzo. DiVincenzo - once known as the Michael Jordan of Delaware - botched the dunk.
DiVincenzo, who 得点する／非難する／２０d 16 points, did chase off a broom 掃海艇 when he turned a midcourt steal into a bucket.
