The Knicks’ legs just weren’t there.
And their monthlong tour de force experienced a rare hiccup as a result.
Returning home for the first time since Dec. 7, they looked like a tired side on the back end of a busy and intense slate of games.
The Knicks turned the ball over 18 times, shot just 25 percent from 3-point range and fell to the 76ers 116-107 Friday night at Madison Square Garden.
It snaps a seven-game winning streak and marks just their second loss in their last 13 games.
It is also just their second loss at home all season.
Down six with under a minute left, they had a chance to corral a loose ball and cut their deficit to one possession.
But there was a miscommunication between Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart, VJ Edgecombe grabbed it, dished to Tyrese Maxey, who drilled a corner 3-pointer for the dagger.
It was that kind of night.
