New York Knicks All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns commended the shorthanded Philadelphia 76ers for their 98-93 win without All-Star Jaylen Brown in their NBA Cup matchup on Friday. Tyrese Maxey led with 27 points, and Anfernee Simons led the bench with 21 points for the 76ers . Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 24 points, six assists, five rebounds, and two steals. Towns added 22 points, 12 rebounds, and three assists, but it wasn’t enough as New York came up short down the stretch.
