Barely one basketball possession worth of time separated the Knicks from clinching their presence in the second round of the playoffs on Tuesday, wasting our time and making us wait until Thursday. Alas.
The Sixers miraculously escaped MSG alive and will live to host one more postseason game before the calendar flips to 2025. Philadelphia will enter Game 5 down 3-2 and facing elimination for the second time in three days in what could be another home-on-the-road contest for New York if all goes like it did the last time the Knicks visited Cheesesteak Arena.
