New York Knicks vs Philadelphia 76ers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Oct 5, 2026

Philadelphia's 23-point victory over New York ended 120–97, a combined 217 points that cleared the market total of 215.5 by 1.5. The game's story lived in its halves: the first 32 minutes were evenly contested at 130 combined points, but the second half collapsed into a defensive slog, yielding just 87 combined points across the final 24 minutes.

The opening quarter set a frenetic pace, with both teams combining for 65 points. New York kept stride early, posting 32 in the frame while Philadelphia answered with 33. That momentum held through the second quarter as well—another 65-point combined output—but the Knicks managed only 26 to Philadelphia's 39, a 13-point swing that proved decisive. From there, pace evaporated. The third quarter saw a combined 42 points, and the fourth mustered just 45, sealing a second half that never recovered from New York's halftime deficit.

Jaylen Brown led Philadelphia's balanced attack with 22 points and 2 rebounds, while Caleb Love added 15 points and 6 assists. New York's offense never found rhythm: Jalen Brunson finished with 12 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists, and OG Anunoby posted 12 points and 6 rebounds. DAGGER leaned over on a market priced at 215.5, and the game cashed by 1.5 points, though the second-half deterioration meant it came closer than either team's recent form would have suggested.
