The prior night's game is well-documented: Edgecombe hit a go-ahead 3 with 33.6 seconds left, guarded Finals MVP Jalen Brunson on a key stop, and then pulled down the final rebound in a 98-93 win over the defending champion Knicks. That game improved the Sixers to 5-1; the later @NBA post indicated a second straight clutch Edgecombe triple moved them to 6-1 [inquirer.com](https://www.inquirer.com/sixers/sixers-vj-edgecombe-knicks-tyrese-maxey-lebron-james-20261031.html).\n\nEdgecombe has become Philadelphia's late-game option even on a roster with LeBron James, Jaylen Brown, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. His coaches and teammates say it reflects his composure and confidence: he stayed ready when plays broke down and took the right shots. The Sixers' stars draw defensive attention late, which creates open looks for Edgecombe [inquirer.com](https://www.inquirer.com/sixers/sixers-vj-edgecombe-knicks-tyrese-maxey-lebron-james-20261031.html).\n\nVJ Edgecombe hit another late 3-pointer for the 76ers.
