The Knicks arrive in Philadelphia for Game 3 with a 2-0 series lead.
In the previous game, which involved multiple lead shifts and some tough defense, the Knicks managed to distance themselves from the Sixers in the closing moments. Jalen Brunson was pivotal, scoring 26 points and making several critical jump shots late in the game.
Despite Joel Embiid sitting out due to hip and ankle soreness, the 76ers fought hard, buoyed by 26 points from Tyrese Maxey and solid double-doubles from Paul Reed and Kelly Oubre Jr.
