With an exciting 118:115 victory over the Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers, the New York Knicks team sealed their entry into the East semifinals of the NBA League. This series stood out as one of the most tense, but not so much because of the games on the court as because of the behavior of Joel Embiid, who at certain moments seemed as if the fight had become personal for him. Although Embiid was expected to be a key player, he was outplayed by Tyrese Maxey, and Jalen Brunson emerged as the hero of the game with an impressive 41 points and 12 assists.
The game started with the Knicks strongly dominating the first quarter, building a huge lead that gave them an early advantage. However, Philadelphia quickly came back and even managed to turn the score around. However, the key moment happened when Josh Hart hit a three-pointer at 111:111, which secured the victory for the Knicks.
This triumph marks not only the passage of the Knicks to the semifinals, but also the end of a turbulent series that showed the strength and mental endurance of both teams. New York will now continue their journey in the East semifinals, where they will face the Indiana Pacers, who eliminated the Milwaukee Bucks. This promises more excitement and action on NBA courts.
