VIDEO: Kanter refuses Saric’s helping hand after foul

The Philadelphia 76ers staged a fourth quarter comeback on Thursday, outscoring the New York Knicks 35-19 in the final 12 minutes to steal a win at Madison Square Garden, 118-110. Well before the Sixers made their comeback though, Dario Saric was called for a foul on Knicks big man Enes Kanter, who took a fall after the whistle. As a gesture of good faith, Dario went to try and help Kanter up, the Knicks' center was having none of it.

Dario seemed pretty upset at him after it all went down, but he moved on and ultimately hit a decisive three-pointer in the fourth quarter to extend the Sixer lead to seven in the final minutes. Dario finished with 21 points and 12 rebounds while Kanter had 14 and 10. 

The Sixers are 3-0 against New York this season, their first series win over the Knicks since 2008-09. The two teams play once more this season in Philadelphia on March 28.
