The New York Knicks can't let another clinching opportunity over the Philadelphia 76ers go by the wayside.
Some cried, others are perspiring further after Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals on Tuesday night, one that saw the Knicks lose a late six-point lead in approximately 20 seconds en route to a 112-106 defeat. The resulting sixth game will be staged at Wells Fargo Center on Thursday night as the first round of the NBA Playoffs begins to wind down.
The Knicks are looking to earn playoff series victories in consecutive seasons for the first time since the turn of the century and will return to the scene of one of their most brilliant capers yet. New York split the regularly scheduled pair of games on Brotherly Love hardwood, the win being a 97-92 thriller in Game 4. Jalen Brunson scored a Knicks single-game postseason record 47 points to post a 3-1 series lead and give his team three clinching opportunities.
