The Philadelphia 76ers were right on the money and showed why they were game 3 favorites defeating the Knicks 125-114.
The series is tantalizingly set at 1-2 and the 76ers could level the series on Monday.
The Knicks lost their seven game unbeaten streak as Joel Embiid produced a masterclass. There was definitely concern about him not taking the court last night after struggling with a nagging knee injury but he turned up and scored 50 points right rebounds and four assists.
50 points in a clutch playoff series game against the highly rated Knicks, 50 points. Wow.
Tyrese Maxey was also good but went under the prop bet scoring 25 points to go with seven assists and 4 rebounds.
For the Knicks Jalen Brunson was the only shining light scoring 39 points and 13 assists.
The 76ers will be buoyed by the result and if they can win Sunday, momentum and Embiid could be all it takes to win this series.
