Highlights of the Knicks’ 112-106 overtime loss to the 76ers in Game 5 on Tuesday night at the Garden:
Hero
Tyrese Maxey scored 46 points — including a key 3-pointer and two late free throws in overtime — and added nine assists in 52 minutes as the Sixers stayed alive with an overtime win at the Garden.
Zero
Game 2 hero Donte DiVincenzo had his fourth single-digit scoring game of the series, with a 3-for-10 shooting night and nine points.
Unsung hero
Josh Hart played the entire game for the second time in the series in a losing effort, this time all 53 minutes, with 18 points, nine rebounds and nine assists.
Stat of the night
9 Turnovers for Joel Embiid, who received the Trae Young treatment again with several chants of “F–k Embiid,” and despite a traditional triple-double (19-16-10), the All-Star center was careless with the ball and shot 7-for-19 from the floor.
Quote of the night
“Just a tough way to lose a ballgame. We had a lead and we gotta play tougher with a lead … We’ve got to do better.” — Tom Thibodeau
