The Knicks’ battle with the 76ers got testy in the final minutes with Donte DiVincenzo grabbing Kelly Oubre by his legs under the basket and trying to wrestle him down.
DiVincenzo drove baseline and it appeared Oubre hit and knocked him over from behind, but no call was made with the Knick trailing 70-63 with 4:04 left in the game at Madison Square Garden on Sunday night.
The Knicks guard then grabbed Oubre by the lower portion of his legs and Isaiah Hartenstein came over and finished the job by shoving the 76ers wing to the ground.
Members of both teams had to be separated with Philadelphia’s Paul Reed giving Hartenstein a small shove to the back.
DiVincenzo, Hartenstein and Reed were all assessed a technical foul and Tobias Harris missed the ensuing 76ers’ free throw with the Knicks maintaining possession.
The 76ers ended up winning the game 79-93.Â
