The New York Knicks are coming off of a very convincing, 39-point win over the Philadelphia 76ers in game 1. Game 1 was an exercise in growing a lead. 2:30 in the first, up by 1. 10:17 in the second, up by 11. 2:18 left in the fourth, up by 37.
Philadelphia got double digit scoring from all five starters but did not have an answer for Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby, especially in critical moments. This series will come down to situational basketball more than volume scoring.
