Last Night's Action: Looking Bad Against the Worst

76ers 124, Knicks 84: For the second time this season, the Knicks got blown out by the second-worst team in the division. How is that possible? Start with nine turnovers in the first quarter alone -- and 23 for the game. Sprinkle in some porous defense and everything should come out just fine. The Knicks lost by 40 despite shooting 46 percent from the floor. Too bad Philadelphia made 57 percent of its shots.
Nets 110, Bulls 102 (OT): Even without Devin Harris, the best player the Nets got in exchange for Jason Kidd, the Nets were able to take down the Bulls at home.

They could have had six goals had they not hit the post twice. That fatigue-induced slow start is a distant memory for New Jersey, which leads the Atlantic Division.
Flyers 6, Rangers 2: When Ryan Hollweg scored two early goals, something had to tell the Rangers this wasn't a typical game. Then, poof! Bad news comes in threes, and it came in threes times two at the Garden. Henrik Lundqvist made it the whole game despite allowing one sixth of all the shots he faced in. Montreal visits New York on Saturday night.
