Basketball: NBA; Sixers party in New York with the debut of LeBron James

Abrupt stop at home for the New York Knicks who were beaten at home by Philadelphia last night in the NBA, enjoying LeBron James' debut in the Sixers jersey and the good performances of Tyrese Maxey and Jaylen Brown.

After a fully balanced game, the guests tried to escape in the 3rd quarter, which ended with an 11-0 run led by Jaylen Brown (19 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists). New York manages to mend the score by even returning to -1, but at that moment it is Joel Embiid, author of a performance of 13 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, who puts the team on his shoulders and drags Philadelphia to an away match: the final result is 100-106.

14 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. This is the spoils of LeBron James' first official match with the Sixers shirt, in which the veteran also offers a couple of spectacular plays that enchant Madison Square Garden. And with LeBron at his side, Tyrese Maxey also rises to the next level and finishes as best on the pitch with 28 points and 5 assists.

Victory 104-116 away from home also for the Oklahoma City Thunder who move to San Antonio thanks to the unstoppable Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, while for the Spurs and especially for Victor Wembanyama the seasonal debut is to be forgotten. No success on the road for the Celtics, who went ahead by 22 in Detroit but were caught up by Cade Cunningham and his teammates (final result 121-113).
