NEW YORK (NBA.com exclusive) – After experiencing the frights and terrors of the road during a two-game losing streak to open the season, the Knicks hoped that a lineup change and a home opener at Madison Square Garden would spark something positive.
Instead, the losing continued and the Knicks faced another horror show on Halloween night.
In a game that looked more like an old-time Western Conference shootout than an Eastern Conference grind-out, the Philadelphia 76ers downed the Knicks, 141-127 in overtime, and handed New York (0-3) its third straight loss to open the season.
A crowd of 19,763 that included Dustin Hoffman, John McEnroe and former Knick Stephon Marbury watched the Sixers (2-1) outscore the Knicks 19-5 in the extra period.
