The New York Knicks will face the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 2 of the NBA Playoffs at Madison Square Garden.
New York is aiming to double up on Philadelphia this week and demonstrate that the 76ers’ first-round upset of Boston was an anomaly.
The Knicks asserted dominance in the Eastern Conference with a 137-98 win at Madison Square Garden.
76ers Look to Rebound
Even with Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Paul George on the court for significant minutes in the opening game, the 76ers did not show out consistently.
Embiid and Maxey featured after overcoming recent niggles.
The two teams return to MSG.
Knicks’ Defence Key to Success
Mike Brown’s stellar defence looks to mute the tandem of Maxey and Embiid once again.
That work off the ball has allowed the Knicks to build up a combined points differential of 135 over their last four opponents, the largest in NBA playoff history over that span.
Brunson’s Performance
Jalen Brunson, who led Game 1 with 35 points and 100% shooting from the free-throw line, has teased the arrival of a reinforced 76ers side when these two teams get reacquainted in Game 2.
Anything but could see Philadelphia struggling to keep touch in this series before it even gets back to the Xfinity Mobile Arena this week.
