Final Score: New York 84 - Philadelphia 124

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Willie Green led a balanced Philadelphia attack with 21 points and the Sixers demolished the New York Knicks on the day their coach received a contract extension, 124-84, at the Wachovia Center.

Thaddeus Young had 20 points and eight rebounds and Andre Miller handed out 10 assists to go with his 12 points as Philadelphia rebounded from a 104-88 loss in Minnesota Tuesday night, which snapped a season-best five-game win streak.

Andre Iguodala scored 19, Lou Williams had 13 and Rodney Carney added 10 to round out the Sixers' double-figure scorers. Philly totaled a season-best scoring output, shot a torrid 57 percent from the floor and outrebounded the Knicks, 43-31, all while putting the game away well before halftime.

The Sixers also amassed an impressive 16 steals for the game, though no one player had more than three.

Earlier Wednesday, Sixers head coach Maurice Cheeks agreed in principle to a contract extension that will keep him around through the 2008-09 season. Cheeks was in the final year of a three-year pact, and has a 97-122 record with the club.

Jamal Crawford's 14-point night led a Knicks performance that was uninspired, to say the least, as New York has now dropped 10 its last 12.

Eddy Curry had 12 points and six rebounds, but the Knicks turned the ball over a whopping 23 times and trailed by as many as 47 during the second half. It was not, however, New York's worst loss of the season. Boston pounded the Knicks, 104-59, back on November 29, 2007.

The Sixers opened up an 11-point lead by the four-minute mark of the first, and pushed the cushion to 37-17 by the end of the quarter.

Carney's three with just under seven minutes to go in the half gave Philly its largest lead to that point, 56-28, and just over a minute later his steal and fastbreak bucket made it a 30-point bulge.

Green had 17 points in the first half and Miller nine assists, as the Sixers eclipsed their previous scoring high for a half in the building, taking a 72-36 lead into the break.

An Iguodala three made it a 40-point game a little more than halfway through the third, and it was 102-57 going to the final stanza.

The fourth quarter was purely academic, as Philadelphia's only final hurdle was the season-high scoring output, which was surpassed on a Gordan Giricek three with nearly seven minutes still remaining.
