The 76ers vs Knicks match player stats from February 11, 2026 reflected a total mismatch from the opening tip, with New York delivering one of its most dominant road performances of the season at Wells Fargo Center.
Jose Alvarado scored a season-high 26 points and Mikal Bridges added 22 as the Knicks hammered the Philadelphia 76ers 138-89, winning by 49 points in a performance that wasn’t nearly as close as it sounds.
Alvarado’s Off-the-Bench Masterclass
Alvarado, recently acquired from New Orleans, was the unlikely star of the evening.
He shot 8 for 13 from 3-point range and added five steals in a performance that left the Wells Fargo Center stunned.
The Knicks jumped out to a 16-4 lead behind nine first-quarter points from Bridges and never looked back.
New York shot 58 percent from the field in the first half and led by 30 at halftime.
Karl-Anthony Towns was equally impressive, finishing with 21 points, 11 rebounds, and five assists, posting a plus-29 in 28 minutes.
The Knicks finished the night with 41 assists, a season high, a number that underlines just how freely the ball moved in all four quarters.
Maxey Fights Alone for Philly
Tyrese Maxey put up a valiant effort, scoring 32 points in three quarters for Philadelphia.
He attacked the rim relentlessly and got to the free throw line 13 times, doing everything he could to prevent a historic collapse.
But Maxey had little help.
VJ Edgecombe added 14 points, going 6-for-16 from the field and 0-for-5 from three.
Dominick Barlow chipped in 13.
Kelly Oubre Jr. had arguably the worst game on the floor, finishing 0-for-6 from the field and 0-for-5 from three-point range.
Joel Embiid sat out with right knee soreness, his second consecutive absence.
Paul George was also inactive, as was Quentin Grimes.
The talent gap between the two rosters, even accounting for absences, was stark all night.

Context and Consequences
The 76ers were held to a season-low point total, just their third game under 100 points this year.
Embiid’s absence was significant, but the margin suggested Philadelphia’s issues ran deeper than one missing player.
New York improved to 35-20 on the season and stayed half a game behind Boston in the Atlantic Division standings.
The Knicks have now beaten Philadelphia twice this season, and on both occasions the result was not close.
This is a New York team that, when clicking offensively, can put up historic numbers against any defense in the league.
For the Sixers, the path forward without consistent contributions from their top-end talent becomes increasingly difficult to see.
