Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid remains optimistic about his team’s chances of winning the ongoing series against the New York Knicks, despite being down 0-2. Addressing reporters in the Sixers’ locker room at Madison Square Garden, Embiid stated that they should be 2-0 and expressed confidence in their ability to win the series. He highlighted areas where they need to improve but emphasized that the Sixers are the superior team and will continue to fight. “We’re going to win this,” Embiid said, despite shooting 1-of-4 in the final 6 minutes of the Sixers’ 104-101 loss in Game 2. “We know what we gotta fix, we did a better job today so we’re going to fix it. But we’re the better team and we’re going to keep fighting.” The Sixers have a history of struggling when trailing 0-2 in a series, with a 0-19 record all-time. Embiid has also never advanced past the conference semifinals since entering the league in 2014 as the No. 3 overall pick. The series now shifts to the Wells Fargo Center for Games 3 and 4, where the Sixers will look to turn the tide and avoid falling into a deeper deficit.
