What happened

So much so that, just looking at the box score, it’s hard to believe it existed along with the final score.

Why it matters

The Knicks took half the number of free throws as the 76ers — 17 to Philadelphia’s 34 — during their 137-98 Game 1 rout Monday night at Madison Square Garden.

Common ground

Joel Embiid scored eight of his 14 points from the free-throw line.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
