Mitch Robinson with arguably the worst foul in franchise history. Knicks up 6 with 26 seconds and Maxey behind 3-point line, for some inexplicable reason Mitch charges out and fouls Maxey for a 4 point play. Let PHi shoot a 3, lead is cut to 3… make 1 FT and game is over. Nope. Mitch has to foul. Now it’s a 2 point game.
Look, final minute Knicks had 3 awful turnovers. 1 of them with 4:30 left up 6, after a steal, where they throw a full court pass and out of bounds. Hold ball. No rush.
But, Brunson and Hart missed FTs.
DDV 1-7 from downtown with 9 points. Another crappy performance from him. Team needs more.
And, final assinine decision that cost team… up 3 with 15 seconds left… FOUL! It almost got them in Game 2… Embiid hit rim on a good luck. They sat and watched Maxey dribble up and drain a 3. It’s such a stupid philosophy bc math is math. Do you know what you can’t do when you shoot 2 FTs… score 3 points. Foul… make your FTs and game is over.
So awful job Mitch and Thibbs and Brunson was pretty ball huh brutal from 8 seconds left in the game thru OT. He hit a shit and 2 3s but he missed bad shots and turned ball over at worst time.
Knicks probably win Game 7… but doesn’t matter now. They are down to 7 guys. If they wanted to win next round they needed to finish series tonight. Now they’ll have to play 2 more physical games… and even if they win series, they’ll be gassed for the run and gun high flying high energy Pacers.
Up 6 with 30 seconds and they lost. Brutal. Worse loss since game 6 in Indy a decade ago.
A shame too bc OG with breakaway dunks and McBride with a huge bucket late…
We needed Brunson to make FTs or sink game winner (like Murray), we needed team to play smarter…
I’m sick
