Precious Achiuwa 's MVP effort on Joel Embiid has the New York Knicks on the precipice of advancing in the Eastern Conference Playoffs.
Embiid seemed poised to shift the series in Philadelphia's favor with a 50-point effort in Game 3 but Achiuwa at the very least delayed such a phenomenon: collaborating with fellow Canadian import OG Anunoby, Achiuwa held Embiid frutiless from the field on five attempts in the fourth quarter, as his single point in the period came at the foul line.
“That’s part of being a professional. I pride myself in being a professional, coming in and doing what I have to do, and just, when the opportunity comes around, taking advantage of it, and playing to the best of my abilities.” Achiuwa said,“To me, that’s what it comes down to, just continue being professional. Things happen in this league, ups and downs, and whatnot, and I understand things I can contribute to the team.
Achiuwa, who also registered seven rebounds and four blocks in Game 4, was perhaps a bit of an afterthought when he came over from the Raptors in late December, as the main headliner was the defensive stalwart Anunoby.
