PHILADELPHIA — James Harden delivered the full-court pass to Matisse Thybulle for the layup, then threw both arms into the air to signal touchdown.
That highlight-worthy play capped the 76ers’ second-half surge to top the New York Knicks, 123-108, in Harden’s home debut Wednesday night at the Wells Fargo Center.
For the bulk of the first half, it appeared the Knicks might spoil the buzz inside the Wells Fargo Center. New York built a 16-point lead, fueled by scoring 16 points off eight turnovers by a Sixers offense that did not initially flow nearly as sharply as in its first two games with Harden.
