For the first time all season, the 76ers were favored to win a game and they not only beat the Knicks but they beat them bad – 16 points bad!

Nerlens “maybe rookie of the year” Noel had a career-high 23 points to go with 14 boards and Ish Smith added 15 for the 76ers – winners of 4 of the their last 7!

The two hooked up on one of the nicest plays of the game when Ish crossed the Ish out of Galloway and then dished to Noel for a power dunk – this sounds like a Dr Suess book.
