It is no coincidence. The team that has never made it past the second round with Joel Embiid repeatedly misfired, while last season’s Clutch Player of the Year ensured the Knicks moved two wins from a second straight trip to the Eastern Conference finals.

Joel Embiid's wife Anne de Paula is trying something fresh before the Philadelphia 76ers face the New York Knicks on May 6.

The Knicks aren't a one-trick pony like the Celtics, and Philadelphia just feels overpowered in this second-round series.

The heavy workload might be catching up with Tyrese Maxey, especially after the 76ers guard re-aggravated an injury in Game 2 vs. the Knicks.

The 76ers went almost six minutes without a basket late in the 108-102 loss to the Knicks in Game 2 of the semifinal series.

Jalen Brunson came up clutch for the Knicks once again, with 8 of his 26 points coming in the final quarter to lead New York in scoring. Tyrese Maxey carried the load for the Sixers, also with 26 points, but it was Philly’s 18 turnovers that really did the damage at Madison Square Garden.

The New York Knicks have a comfortable 2-0 edge over the Philadelphia 76ers after handiling business in Game 2 on Wednesday.

After a strong first three quarters against the Knicks in Game 2, Paul George revealed what went wrong for the 76ers in the fourth.
