Knicks go up 33-11 to start the game. Embiid heads to locker room. In a nanosecond lead is cut in half, Embiid returns, and PHI ends half on a 43-18 run.
As soon as Buddy entered game, and Knicks allowed him to drain 2 quick 3s… I knew game was over and it’s off to Sat night. Series is heading to Game 7. Buddy 5-7 from downtown in 1st half and outscored Brunson.
Embiid/Maxey/Buddy is too much offense for Knicks to guard or overcome. NY has 0 points from the bench. So glad I turned it off with 3 left in 1Q.
As a long-suffering NyK fan, we know how this ends. With PHI celebrating at MsG Sat night.
Knicks had a shot to knock PHI out… but they choked away Game 3. They took a good shot at PHI tonight, going up 22 quickly… but they pissed that away quickly and played as if they were behind instead of up big.
It’s tough to knock out a team facing elimination. Knicks got as close as they possibly could, but too many injuries and too many mistakes. Missed FT from Hart and brain burp not fouling up 3 will sting until OCT.
Good year but yet another brutal, disappointing and let’s face it… historical playoff collapse. Only R1 and they probably would lose to Indy anyway… so who cares!
Good night. Let’s enjoy watching a game 7. But be prepared for the ending… like watching the Titanic movie… you know what’s going to happen.
