The Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers have been engaged in a five-game rock fight where grit, determination, and hustle have determined the winner of each game.
Philadelphia 76ers’ Tyrese Maxey shoots over New York Knicks’ Jalen Brunson , Mitchell Robinson and Josh Hart during the second half of Game 5 in an NBA basketball first-round playoff series, Tuesday, April 30, 2024, in New York. The 76ers won 112-106 in overtime. to get news, updates, and local insights delivered straight to your inbox!
Maxey had dropped a career-high 46 points by the time the dust settled in overtime, giving Philadelphia a chance to tie the series at home on Thursday. As is the case with every other game in this series, the team that wins the rebounding battle wins. The return of Mitchell Robinson did not help New York on the glass as 76ers center Joel Embiid snatched a game-high 16 rebounds en route to his first career playoff triple-double.
It has taken two historical performances from Embiid and Maxey to even give Philadelphia a chance in this series. Yet, the 76ers find themselves 48 minutes away from forcing a winner-take-all Game 7 where anything can happen. The message in the Knicks locker room postgame though was clear; it’s time to move on.
“That’s a game we should’ve won,” Josh Hart added. “Now all we can do is watch film, regroup, and get ready for the game on Thursday.”
