In a crucial Game 4, Knicks guard Miles McBride excelled, scoring 25 points and hitting seven 3-pointers while stifling the 76ers' offense, securing the team's spot in the Eastern Conference finals.
PHILADELPHIA — Miles McBride was, in his words, “extremely comfortable” with an expanded role as long as OG Anunoby was out. Knicks guard Miles McBride reacts as he walks off the court at the end of the 4th quarter after the Knicks defeat the Philadelphia 76ers 144-114.
McBride scored 25 points and hit seven 3-pointers in nine attempts, four coming in an early onslaught that made it clear this series was going to end without a return trip to New York City. Knicks advance to second straight Eastern Conference finals by destroying 76ers to finish sweep“I always feel like I’m going to make shots,” McBride said.
“I trust my work, trust my preparation. They left me open. ” McBride had been in a shaky shooting stretch, entering the game 5-for-19 from 3-point range over the previous five games. Knicks guard Miles McBride puts up a 3-point shot over Philadelphia 76ers guard Quentin Grimes during the second quarter of Game 4.
“He’s just tough-minded,” coach Mike Brown said. “In order to have success in anything you do in life you need to have a short memory, and he definitely has a short memory. ” With a chance to sweep the 76ers out of the playoffs, McBride shined. He bombed away early, scoring 12 points in the game’s first 5:01.
McBride was also terrific, as usual, on the defensive end, and was a big part of the Knicks’ blistering shooting display. They hit 25 3-pointers in 44 attempts, setting a franchise playoff record and equaling the NBA mark previously set by the Bucks in 2021 and Cavaliers in 2016.
“Deuce — he was unbelievable,” Brown said. “His ability to stretch the floor and create space for others is second to none. He’s got a confidence about him and in himself that just makes us take another level on both ends of the floor. ”Stream It Or Skip It: ‘M.I.
