The final score was New York Knicks 97 · Philadelphia 76ers 120. This NBA game is preseason. The breakdown below uses this game’s figures, separate from season averages.
ESPN team totals and game box scores checked October 6. NBA season averages and ranks use 2025–26; preseason game results are shown separately. Ranks are within the league, with ties sharing a rank; a lower turnover rate is better. Season offensive rebound rate needs opponent defensive-rebound totals, which this feed does not supply. A dash means unavailable. This game’s offensive rebound rate uses the opponent’s actual rebounds.
How we read the Lab measures
eFG% gives a made three its extra value. Turnover rate estimates the share of plays lost before a shot. Offensive rebound rate is the share of available offensive rebounds collected. Free-throw pressure is FTA/FGA. The calculations are (FGM + 0.5 × 3PM)/FGA; TOV/(FGA + 0.44 × FTA + TOV); OREB/(OREB + opponent DREB); and FTA/FGA.
The Lab’s result test
Philadelphia 76ers won by 23 points. Q2 supplied the largest scoring swing in the winner’s favor, a +13-points period. The chart shows the result’s path; the box score helps explain what created it.
The shooting test is New York Knicks at 42.9% eFG against Philadelphia 76ers at 50.5%. Effective field goal percentage includes the extra value of a made three. Compare it with turnover rate, offensive rebounds and free-throw pressure before assigning the result to shooting alone.
It is preseason. The result counts as a completed game, but it does not count toward regular-season standings. Our next test is whether the rotation creates the same quality of chances and communicates on defense when the lineup changes.
