Oubre caught the ball, gave a quick feint, then put it on the floor and drove.
After taking huge strides into the paint, he kicked it out to Isaiah Joe in the weak-side corner.
Joe caught it and immediately swung it again to Butler at the top, then suddenly twisted free and cut inside.
Seeing it, Butler immediately fired a sharp, surgical pass back to him.
Isaiah Joe then caught the ball cleanly at the rim, quickly finished with a finger roll, and drew another foul from Hartenstein in the process.
The 2+1 was good!
Beautiful teamwork, finished in an instant.

Meanwhile, Philadelphia made no personnel changes.
They chose to keep using this red-hot starting lineup and ride the momentum...
The brief substitutions ended, and Joe calmly made the extra free throw.
Possession returned to the Knicks.
Hart brought the ball up in transition.
When he reached the frontcourt, he exchanged a glance with Chen Xi, then turned and found George with the pass.
Paul George caught the ball and initiated the offense.
Matched up with Oubre at the forty-five-degree angle, he strung together several between-the-legs crossovers, then used a Drag Step into a crossover before accelerating into the paint.
While moving, he actively sought contact, used the force to create a Step-back, pulled up just above the free-throw line in the long two-point area, and gathered for a pump fake.
The sequence was beautiful, but he failed to get the defender airborne. George immediately moved the ball to Rose on the weak side.
Hart caught it and swung it again to Toppin in the corner.
