In Game Two, Round One of the 2024 NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs, the New York Knicks treated the Philadelphia 76ers to another slugfest at Madison Square Garden. If you missed it, you missed out.
Despite being listed as questionable due to injuries and illness, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey carried Philly through the first half, helping the Sixers to a 53-49 lead over the Knicks. While Jalen Brunson struggled to find daylight, Josh Hart kept New York alive with a first-half double-double and sizzling shooting from downtown. New York would win the third quarter 30-21, but Philadelphia wasn’t prepared to quit.
