Knicks finally unlock fourth-quarter formula in NBA Cup win over 76ers

PHILADELPHIA — Riding a spirited effort from their frontcourt, the Knicks reversed their fourth-quarter woes and pummeled the Sixers on Tuesday night, 111-99.

The Knicks overwhelmingly won the final 12 minutes as Tom Thibodeau opened up his rotation and Karl-Anthony Towns outplayed longtime foe Joel Embiid.

OG Anunoby scored 24 points and provided the highlight, a soaring dunk early in the fourth quarter that deflated the Philly supporters and energized the traveling Knicks fans.

Josh Hart finished the night with a triple-double and an argument that talk of the team’s demise was greatly exaggerated.

“We’re just 10 games into the season,” said Hart, who finished with 14 points, 12 rebounds and 10 ᴀssists. “We’ve got all of you [in the media] all crying about how we look, offensively, defensively. Some people ready to pack the season in, some people saying we lost our idenтιтy. We don’t listen to it. At the end of the day, we know what we have and it takes some fine-tuning.”
