WASHINGTON (AP) - James Harden has posted a triple-double in his second game with Philadelphia, recording 29 points, 16 assists and 10 rebounds as the visiting 76ers pulled away late in the fourth quarter to beat the New York Knicks 125-109.
Harden, acquired from the Brooklyn Nets on Feb 10, added five steals as he became the first player in 76ers history to finish with at least 25 points, 15 assists, five rebounds and five steals in a game.
Joel Embiid scored 37 points while going 23-of-27 from the free-throw line — the makes and attempts were career-highs — for the 76ers, who have won three in a row and five of six. Tyrese Maxey scored 21 points and Tobias Harris 12.
For the Knicks, who have lost nine of their past 10 games, RJ Barrett and Evan Fournier each had 24 points while Julius Randle (16 points, 10 rebounds) had a double-double. Immanuel Quickley added 21 points off the bench.
