New York up 2-0. I don't understand when Philly comes down and puts up a shot without getting the ball to Embiid, unless it's Maxey. I mean they're certainly not gonna win an effort battle verse this Knicks team. Hartenstein making all his floaters. Embiid pretty fortunate not to be ejected on multiple plays. I would've ejected him for grabbing Robinson's legs from the floor like that, with potential for serious injury, regardless of the ejection's significance. New York up 2 at the quarter break. Payne with back to back 3's off the bench. Hartenstein in foul trouble and Robinson limping from Embiid's earlier action, which the commentary never mentions. There are way too many stoppages in this game, DiVincenzo ends the half well, the Knicks up 3. Maxey with a good steal and transition hoop to start the 3rd and lifts the Sixers. Embiid with back to back 3's and Philly as a whole just can't miss in the term, putting up 43 and taking a 13-point lead into the 4th. Can't stand when a player voluntarily jumps out of bounds... i.e. Brunson and the ref gifts them a whistle. Embiid just keeps knocking down 3's, Anunoby with back to back 3's, but the Sixers home comfortably, making a series of it. Both teams shot well, Philly lights out, with much more production from the line. Neither team turned it over, the Sixers +4 on the boards. Embiid with a super efficient 50 points, 19 of 21 from the line and 8 boards, though lucky not be to thrown out and the series over at the same time. Maxey 25 points, 7 assists and 2 steals, with just 1 turnover. Payne three 3's and 2 blocks off the bench. For New York, Hart 20 points, 6 assists and 6 boards, no turnovers. Brunson 39 points and 13 assists.
