Mitchell Robinson's second-half energy shift powered the Knicks to a 112-109 victory over the 76ers in Philadelphia. New York erased an early deficit with a dominant 25-9 run after halftime, holding Joel Embiid scoreless in the third quarter despite his 38-point, 11-rebound effort. The win marks the Knicks' second straight after losing nine of their previous 11 games.

Karl-Anthony Towns fouled out with back spasms, forcing a 'next man up' mentality that the Knicks embraced. Jalen Brunson (31 points, 6 assists) and Josh Hart (10 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists) spearheaded the effort, with New York dominating second-chance points 26-4 and grabbing 19 rebounds to Philadelphia's six in the second half.

A chaotic final minute saw multiple reviews and a missed call on Tyrese Maxey's potential game-tying attempt, but the Knicks held firm. For a team that briefly looked like a lottery contender, this road win against a potential playoff opponent provides crucial momentum as the season progresses.
