10月21日，24直播网报道，NBA新赛季的首场对决中，费城76人在客场以106比100的比分战胜了纽约尼克斯。ESPN资深记者Brian Windhorst在《The Hoop Collective》的播客节目中，对这场比赛进行了深入讨论。
Windhorst指出：“比赛并未展现出极高的观赏性，我坚信不能仅凭一场赛事便作出重大推论。然而，对于费城76人队而言，这无疑是一场宝贵的胜利。他们在纽约尼克斯主场，面对冠军戒指的诱惑和全场的激动氛围，依然能在客场取得胜利。值得一提的是，勒布朗·詹姆斯和乔尔·恩比德在进攻端并未有显著表现。”
Tim MacMahon，同样来自ESPN，提出了不同的看法：“我必须对此提出不同意见。尽管他们并未获得大量分数，但我认为他们在控球和传球方面表现出色。恩比德在处理球方面，尤其是在快攻中的表现，做出了众多精准的决策。勒布朗在球队进攻的串联中也发挥了至关重要的作用。尤其是恩比德所展现出的无私精神，让我深感振奋。”
Following the game, Windhorst remarked, "The pair combined for 13 assists, a commendation that is undoubtedly justified. They demonstrated exceptional ball distribution. Yet, their combined shooting efforts resulted in just 9 out of 28 attempts. In numerous contests, such a shooting performance on the road would be challenging to overcome. I believe the 76ers possess a considerable margin for error. They have a wealth of talent to rely on. Despite the absence of any standout offensive performances in this match, their array of options ultimately led to their victory."
