Two banged up teams meet under the Liberty Bell. Both need the sweet refreshment of victory. Cue the Rocky theme.
The Philadelphia 76ers (15-23) were decisively beaten by the New York Knicks (26-15) on November 12 in their first season match-up. The Sixers have shown signs of life recently, but lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder last night and are coping with injuries. After falling short against the Pistons on Sunday, a win tonight against a mediocre team would put some fresh air in the Knickerbockers’ sails.
Tip off is 7:00 p.m. EST on MSG and ESPN. This is your game thread. This is Liberty Ballers. Please don’t post large photos, GIFs, or links to illegal streams in the thread. Be good ambassadors of humanity. And go Knicks!
