But a miracle shot from Tyrese Maxey saved their season as Philadelphia outlasted the New York Knicks 110-106 in Game 5 at the Garden to keep its championship hopes alive.Start Your Free Trial Today > Philadelphia had to squeeze everything it could out of the reigning MVP Joel Embiid, who committed nine turnovers but also had a triple double to go with five blocks as he came up big on the defensive end in overtime.
On Wednesday however, he had Philadelphia’s first five points of the game, opening the scoring with a 3-pointer after some slick ball movement from the Sixers. In what has been a concerning trend all series long, Philadelphia struggled in the minutes with Embiid on the bench to open the second, with New York quickly going on a 11-2 run.
A corner 3-pointer from Harris eventually stopped the scoring run, although it was short-lived as Hart found Mitchell Robinson for the emphatic slam off an expertly-executed lob pass.That put the Knicks ahead 37-31 midway through the quarter and saw the Sixers call another timeout. Just as the Sixers looked to be gaining the upperhand, the hustle plays and tenacity that have defined the Knicks under Thibodeau saw them regain the lead as Isaiah Hartenstein fought for a rebound that led to a Brunson 3-pointer.
New York went on a 10-0 run to take a 82-77 lead before Harris sunk a contested shot to halt the Knicks charge, although Brunson answered right back with an and-1 on the other end.But seven points from Maxey in the space of 17 seconds, including a clutch 3-pointer on Philadelphia’s final possession of regulation, kept Philadelphia’s post-season alive.
