Jalen Brunson #11 of the New York Knicks shoots over Kelly Oubre Jr. #9 of the Philadelphia 76ers during the fourth quarter of game six of the Eastern Conference First Round Playoffs at the Wells Fargo Center on May 02, 2024 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. AFPLos Angeles, United States—Jalen Brunson scored 41 points and the New York Knicks held on for a 118-115 victory over Philadelphia on Thursday, clinching a 4-2 series win to book an NBA playoffs second-round clash with the Indiana Pacers.
Sixers star Joel Embiid cut the deficit to one with a driving layup with 20.8 seconds left, but then fouled out, and the Knicks polished it off with free throws from Donte DiVincenzo and Brunson. Embiid, last season’s Most Valuable Player whose campaign was disrupted by knee surgery in February, scored 39 points and grabbed 13 rebounds.
Unable to close out the depleted Bucks on Tuesday, the Pacers got their up-tempo offense flowing again, relentlessly pulling away after trailing by seven in the opening minutes in Indianapolis.
