Led 3-1 in the series and up against the wall, the Sixers “of Joel Embiid” snatched an essential success at the end of overtime. Carried by a Tyrese Maxey on his planet, Philly can still believe it and snatches Game 6. What a match. Narrative.
Madison Square Garden had identified public enemy number 1, and was quick to make it known to them. Jeered at every touch of the ball, Joel Embiid paid a high price for his few actions dirty during the first four matches. But despite a boiling room, the start of the match is… awkward. And that’s saying something. A small lid had obviously been placed on the baskets, since the two teams combined for a sublime 2/20 in the first five minutes.
If the Sixers turn their heads around thanks to Tobias Harris, the Knicks keep their mittens at the end of April. Eight consecutive failures and two losses of the ball, the tension is palpable and the attack completely rusty. The visitors quickly took a good lead thanks to excellent defense and a Tyrese Maxey already on fire (11 points in the first quarter).
But all it takes is for Jalen Brunson to enter his match for everything to change. Silky baskets like David Beckham’s hair, defensive intensity that goes up twenty-six notches, and MSG that explodes when Miles McBride scores 5 points in 20 seconds. 18-2 Knicks in progressPennsylvanian frustration mounts and it’s their turn to put on three pairs of mittens.
