As Sixers-Knicks turns back to Philadelphia for Game 6, the Sixers’ owners are doing their part to ensure New York fans have limited chances to take over.

After a complete takeover earlier in the week during Game 4, Sixers ownership is doing their part to make sure Game 6 will be different.

Josh Harris, David Blitzer and David Adelman joined forces with Fanatics CEO and former co-owner Michael Rubin, to purchase and hand out over 2,000 Game 6 tickets. They will be distributed to first responders, healthcare professionals, community groups and other local organizations.

"Yeah, you know, kind of pisses me off, especially because Philly is considered a sports town. So, you know, they've always shown up and I don't think that should happen."After the Sixers fought off elimination in Game 5, Nick Nurse on Wednesday was asked about the series turning back to Philadelphia.

“I’d say we all can do better, right?" the Sixers' head coach said."I think we deserve better. I think we need to coach better. The players are going to try to play better. I think we all can do better.Since the Bucks also forced a Game 6 in their series against the Pacers, Sixers-Knicks won't start until 9 p.m. ET on Thursday.
