The New York Knicks have a nice chance to eliminate the 76ers in five games. They will have the home-court edge tonight and momentum on their side as well. Meanwhile, the Sixers will need to be sharp as much as possible.
Philadelphia 76ers News
Philly’s game isn’t as expected. Why? Joel Embiid’s injury might be the problem. Also, his attitude is beneath any professional level. The Process’s behavior in recent games on and off the court isn’t as it should be, and we are free to say that the Cameroonian-born is already becoming a liability for this team.
The bench was terrible, scoring only six points in Game 4, and we can say that it could be the biggest reason why Philly couldn’t compete with the Knicks in this series. Also, not controlling the glass would be another, with the Sixers having ten boards fewer in Game 4, allowing 15 offensive boards.

Everything in New York revolves around Jalen Brunson. His historic performance in Game 4 will be remembered for a long time. He had 47 points with 10 assists. Brunson would split the defense or attack much bigger guards, solving those situations without problems.
OG Anynoby played a nice role in Philly, scoring 16 points and adding 14 boards. One other guy went under the radar, but his contribution was immense, and his name is Josh Hart. The strong guard may have scored only four points, but he had 17 boards, completely covering Mitchell Robinson’s absence.
