The Philadelphia 76ers aren't ready to head to Cancun just yet.

Trailing by six points with 28 seconds remaining in regulation, the 76ers had a win probability of 4.6%, but kept their postseason run intact with a 112-106 overtime victory over the New York Knicks in Game 5.

Reminiscent of the Knicks overcoming a late-game five point deficit in Game 2, the 76ers became the first team in the last 25 playoffs to overcome a deficit of at least six points in the final 30 seconds of regulation.

With 46 points, Tyrese Maxey led the team in scoring and passed Allen Iverson for the most points to avoid elimination in 76ers history.
