Jose Alvarado delivered a historic performance off the bench in the New York Knicks' 138-89 blowout win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday, February 11, 2026.

• He scored a season-high 26 points, all from beyond the arc, making a career-best eight 3-pointers in just 19 minutes of action.

• Alvarado shot a perfect 8-of-13 from three-point range, added five steals, four assists, three rebounds, and two free throws, finishing with a +35 plus-minus.

• His performance made him the first bench player in NBA history to record at least 25 points, eight 3-pointers, and five steals in a single game.

• The Knicks outscored the 76ers by 35 points during his time on the floor, and he helped lead a franchise-record 24 first-half assists.

• Alvarado’s impact extended beyond offense—he earned Defensive Player of the Game honors after a key steal and confrontation following a hard foul on Mitchell Robinson, which sparked a benches-clearing scuffle.

• He described the moment as a personal motivator, saying it fueled his historic night.

• The game marked the largest margin of victory in Knicks history against the 76ers and was a strong bounce-back after a loss to the Indiana Pacers the night before.
