NEW YORK — After a subpar start to their Christmas Day game against the New York Knicks, the 76ers managed to claw their way back to a 63-60 halftime score at Madison Square Garden.
While they trail the Knicks slightly after 24 minutes, it was the Sixers who controlled the second quarter, especially the final moments. That’s when reserve guard Shake Milton knocked in a half-court shot at the buzzer, adding an exclamation point to their comeback effort.
