PHILADELPHIA — Josh Hart’s magnetic palms secured the basketball one last time against the 76ers. A last-ditch heave from Buddy Hield blanked off the backboard like a missile seeking Hart’s possession, his 14th and final rebound as the buzzer sounded on New York’s Game 6 victory over Joel Embiid and company. The Knicks’ scrappy swingman, the 6-foot-4 giant on the glass — who’s averaged 12.3 boards per game these playoffs — then waved the crowd goodbye, his 3-pointer with 24.4 seconds to play having proved the decisive dagger in New York’s 118-115 survival on Thursday, and a 4-2 series win.
