The new york Knicks are through to the second round of the playoffs!
They won game 6 against the sixers completing the series 4-2
Philly stayed competitive throughout the series with all these games super tight that they were within a few points of each other.
Joel Embiid and Maxey carried most of the 76ers load throughout the series with solid contributions from the third best player in it sixers colours being Kelly Oubre.
But ultimately the Knicks won the tough battle of the titans. All knicks contributed well throughout. Divencenzo gave you big games, Deuce hit big shots at crucial times iHart and Mitch battled hard against Embiid in the trenches. A very physical series from both sides but it was the consistency of Josh Hart and Anunoby that meant every last minute to the Knicks. Game in and game out these two came up with crucial gut busting stops, playing suburb defense throughout the series. Hart didnt overthink open arc shots. Instead he knocked them down all series long.
Now where would we be without our most important player Jalen freaking Brunson. Holy smokes he kept us in this thing on the offensive end of the floor. Without him on offense we were just scrambling aimlessly and chucking up shots when he was off the floor. Him being our superstar starting point constantly helped us stay composed down the stretch when we needed a leader. His relentlessness to throw his body around into the painted area was crucial when his shots werent falling. His soft touch around the rim came up huge in the bigger moments this series. Late in games he was often trapped and able to retain the ball. What a series. Brunson averaged 35points 4 rebounds and 9 assists.
Man of the series right here.
Alright now, whats next for the Knicks. Well they will be taking on the Indiana Pacers on Monday so we will be glued to our televisions and going to games religiously. I cant wait for this next series. Lets go Knicks!
