The New York Knicks had six de facto home games against the Philadelphia 76ers last postseason and that didn't sit right with Julius Erving.
Philadelphia 76ers legend Julius Erving prescribed tickets for Philly fans while working with the team and Penn Medicine to unveil new Sixer-themed courts at Roberto Clements Park.
"I think I went to a few games last year, or over the last few years, and soemtimes the enemy has been in the building," Erving recalled in. "I think the last time the Knicks showed up, there were a lot of Knick fans in there, I was like what he heck is going on here, you know? So you've all got to make sure you swoop up those tickets."
The Atlantic Division rivalry between the Knicks and 76ers reignited in the opening round of the Eastern quarterfinals and the Knicks were granted six de facto home games if crowd noise was any indication: though the seventh-seeded Sixers gave all they could, the second-ranked Knicks took the series, closing things out with a 118-115 win in Philadelphia.
