Donte DiVincenzo etched his name into New York Knicks’ lore on Monday night. The 27-year-old guard capped off a remarkable comeback in the dying seconds of Game 2 against the Philadelphia 76ers to secure a miraculous 104-101 victory.
With the Knicks trailing by two points with less than 15 seconds remaining, DiVincenzo received a pass at the top of the key and drained a game-winning three-pointer. The historic shot sent the Madison Square Garden crowd into a frenzy as the Knicks took a commanding 2-0 lead in the first-round series.
DiVincenzo’s heroics were a testament to the resilience of the entire Knicks squad. The team fought valiantly against a determined Sixers side, led by Joel Embiid’s 37 points and 13 rebounds. But in the end, it was the Knicks’ unwavering determination and the electric atmosphere at Madison Square Garden that proved to be the difference.
The Knicks will now travel to Philadelphia for Games 3 and 4, with a chance to close out the series on the road. The 76ers, meanwhile, will be looking to regroup and find a way to ignite their offense against a stingy Knicks defense.
