LeBron makes the play late
Philadelphia survived a tight one against New York on Friday night, beating the Knicks 98-93 without Jaylen Brown, who sat out with a knee problem. LeBron James finished with 20 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, and he made the play that mattered late with a putback.
Tyrese Maxey led the Sixers with 27 points. Anfernee Simons added 21 in a bigger role with Brown sidelined, exactly the kind of production Philadelphia needed from its supporting cast.

Philadelphia got the win with a rotation short one starter, and James’s late putback is the detail that decided it.
