The Philadelphia 76ers season came to a close on Thursday night as the New York Knicks won Game 6 to win the series 4-2, despite some great performances from Sixers’ players.
Facing elimination, Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre, Jr., Tobias Harris and Nick Nurse left everything they had out on the Garden floor. Now Nurse needs a nurse for his ailing finger.
The Sixers blew their chance to tie the series. Now, down 3-1, their season is on the line as they head back to New York for Game 5 against the Knicks.
The Sixers have been a disaster with Joel Embiid off the floor in the postseason, which led to the reigning MVP playing the entire second half in a Game 4 loss.
Joel Embiid is having issues with more than just his surgically repaired knee, but he didn’t let that stop him from leading the Sixers past the Knicks.
