The New York Knicks blew a lead, fought back, then held the line in a nail-biting 118-115 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. Jalen Brunson’s 41 points and 12 assists led the way in the Game 6 clincher.
The Knicks will now face their former rival Indiana Pacers in the East Semifinals.
It was a roller coaster of a game. The Knicks got off to a hot start and led 33-11 at one point. A blowout seemed inevitable, but the Sixers had other ideas. Philadelphia closed the gap and took over the second quarter, snatching all momentum from New York and taking a 54-51 lead at halftime.
