The New York Knicks took care of the Atlanta Hawks in one of the franchise's biggest wins. Now the Philadelphia 76ers try their luck in the Big Apple.
These two Eastern Conference foes square off in a semifinals rematch of a tight series from 2024. Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Maxey went at each other, which made for incredible moments. However, this series might have different components from two years ago.
Expect nothing less than a dogfight for supremacy. Madison Square Garden will be rocking for Game 1 with Knicks fans ready to watch this team try and get over the playoff hump. As for the 76ers, this is the moment that separates contenders from pretenders. No time for the weak hearted to rest.
Philadelphia has only one full day to recover after completing the NBA's 14th comeback from a 3-1 deficit by beating the Celtics 109-100 on Saturday. They were also the first No. 7 seed to beat a No. 2 since the first round became a best-of-seven format.
