NEW YORK ― Kelly Oubre Jr. blew a kiss to the Knicks’ bench following a three-pointer. Tyrese Maxey then sank another of his trademark floaters to give the Sixers a four-point lead with less than three minutes to play. And then Jalen Brunson went to work.

Jalen Brunson scored nine unanswered points late in the fourth quarter Wednesday night for the host New York Knicks, who squandered all of a 19-point lead before coming back to edge the skidding Philadelphia 76ers 110-105.
