Enes Kanter, who has recently emerged as the 'monster on the boards' across the league (averaging 11+ rebounds a game), could only pull down 6 boards and score 17 points off 6-9 shooting. Mario Hezonja added another 17, the only difference being that he took 15 shots to do so, making only 7 of them.

Second round pick Damyean Dotson came off the bench to contribute 16 points, but it was all too little too late.

The Knicks faced the East 3rd seed in Philly and are now scheduled to meet the 2nd seed Milwaukee Bucks next.
