Knicks fall to Sixers, 118-101
Michael Beasley and Emmanuel Mudiay led the Knicks with 22 points each but the effort wasn’t enough against a much more motivated 76ers team that have clinched just a few days ago a playoff spot for the first time in six years, and dropped 118-101 at the Wells Fargo Center.

Joel Embiid suffered a game ending injury in the second quarter after colliding with teammate Markelle Fultz but the team reported after being tested at the hospital that there was no concussion.
