The New York Knicks narrowly defeated the Philadelphia 76ers with a score of 118-115 in a dramatic Game 6, progressing to the Eastern Conference semi-finals.
On a tense evening at the Wells Fargo Center, the New York Knicks edged out the Philadelphia 76ers with a final score of 118-115 in Game 6, sealing their progression to the Eastern Conference semi-finals. The game, held on May 2, 2024, concluded dramatically when Josh Hart scored a critical three-pointer, shifting the game in favor of the Knicks during the dying seconds.
Key to the Knicks’ victory was Jalen Brunson, who notched up 41 points and 12 assists, playing a crucial role throughout the game. The Knicks’ win not only advances them to the next round but also marks their consecutive reach to the second round for the first time since the 1990s.
Despite strong efforts from Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid, who managed 39 points and 13 rebounds, it was not enough to outpace the combined efforts of the Knicks trio including Hart and Donte DiVincenzo. New York is now set to face the Indiana Pacers, who have also moved up after securing their first playoff series win in ten years against the Milwaukee Bucks.
