When the Sixers and Knicks face off at Madison Square Garden, chaos and intensity typically ensue. That was no different on Friday night.

The Philadelphia 76ers outlasted the New York Knicks in a thriller at Madison Square Garden on Friday, ending the home team’s seven-game winning streak with a 116- 107 victory. The Sixers entered the matchup without the services of Joel Embiid (illness/knee), but saw the return of Tyrese Maxey from his two-game absence (illness).

Here are the three biggest takeaways for the Philadelphia 76ers following their road win over the New York Knicks on Friday.

Joel Embiid is questionable for the Sixers' road game against the New York Knicks on Friday night due to an illness, according to the team's injury report unveiled on Thursday evening, which does not include Tyrese Maxey, who missed the team's previous two games due to an illness of his own:

The Dallas Mavericks seek to maintain their December momentum as they face the Philadelphia 76ers, led by Tyrese Maxey, marking their first season meeting.

Tyrese Maxey and the rest of the Philadelphia 76ers react to Joel Embiid's big performance in a win over the Indiana Pacers.

Maxey revealed that he’s formed a friendship with Warriors guard De’Anthony Melton, who scored 14 points in Thursday’s narrow loss to the Sixers.

Tyrese Maxey led the Philadelphia 76ers to an impressive 116–107 road victory over the New York Knicks on Friday night, despite the absence of Joel Embiid.
