The owners of the 76ers and former minority owner Michael Rubin have purchased tickets for Game 6 of their playoff series against the Knicks in an attempt to block New York fans from once again overrunning Wells Fargo Center.

Knicks fans were an overwhelming presence at Game 4 at Wells Fargo for New York's comeback victory, prompting Sixers star Joel Embiid to express his disappointment with Philadelphia fans.

So one day after the Sixers extended the series with an improbable Game 5 victory in New York, Rubin announced Wednesday on social media that he had teamed up with owners Josh Harris, David Blitzer and David Adelman to purchase "more than 2,000" tickets for Game 6.
