The Philadelphia 76ers absolutely crashed the New York Knicks’ opening-night title party, pulling off a 106-100 victory on Tuesday. After adding LeBron James and Jaylen Brown, Philly wasted zero time sending a loud message: they intend to challenge the Knicks for the NBA title.
Philly’s New-Look Squad Means Business
Tyrese Maxey led the charge for the Sixers with 28 points. Jaylen Brown, playing his first game since joining from Boston, dropped 19 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and dished out six assists. And yeah, LeBron James, kicking off an NBA-record 24th season, showed up too, putting up 14 points, nine rebounds, and six assists. This new lineup looks straight-up dangerous.
Pistons Stun Boston With a WILD Run
While the Sixers were making their statement, the Detroit Pistons were busy pulling off a shocker against the Celtics. Seriously, they went on a ridiculous 23-0 run to stun Boston in their own arena. Talk about an opening night!
It’s early in the season, but if these opening games are any indication, the league better be ready. Things are already getting wild.
