Philadelphia maintained their 3 1/2 game lead over New York for the Eastern Conference’s 8th and final playoff spot, the Knicks keeping pace with a startling 107-82 knockout of what had previously looked like a surging Boston squad at MSG. Said contest featured a plethora of technical fouls on both sides, Boston’s Raef Lafrentz getting hit with a flagrant foul for mugging Michael Sweetny.
