New York Knicks
In Game 2, the Knicks defeated the 76ers 104-101, led by Jalen Brunson's clutch three-pointer and Donte DiVincenzo's crucial trey. The Knicks' bench outscored the 76ers' reserves, which made a difference in the game. In dramatic scenes in New York, the Knicks made history by being the first team to overturn a 5+ deficit and still win the game in regular time. They played some great ball in the dying seconds but still needed a Joel Embiid miss from beyond the arc to secure the win, their second in the series.
Philadelphia 76ers
Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey combined for 69 points for the 76ers, but it wasn't enough to secure the win. The 76ers will look to get back in the series with a win at home in Game 3. Embiid believes the 76ers are the better team and can win the series. However, they will need to improve their bench production and find ways to contain the Knicks' offense. With the energy of the home crowd at the Wells Fargo Center, the 76ers will look to mount a comeback and get their first win of the series.
