A wild sequence with 41 seconds left in Game 2 between New York and Philadelphia helped the Knicks score a crucial six points to win the matchup.
The New York Knicks stole Game 2 of their first-round playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night, 104–101, thanks to a wild sequence with about 41 seconds left in the game. The Knicks swung the ball around the arc, and when Jalen Brunson tried to drive into the lane, he lost the ball. A mad scramble was won by Donte DiVincenzo. The play was kept alive for a few more seconds, and Brunson was able to hit a 3-pointer near the corner.
The 76ers turned the ball over upon the inbound pass. DiVincenzo missed the first shot attempt he had but nailed the second after an offensive rebound. Madison Square Garden was rocking. 'It was crazy, it was hectic, but at that point we had nothing to lose,' Knicks guard Josh Hart said. 'Got to get as physical as we can and it panned out.' Brunson had 24 points in the game. Hart had 21 points and 15 rebounds. DiVincenzo added 19 points.
