The New York Knicks pulled off a miraculous comeback to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 104-101 in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series. Trailing by eight points with under 30 seconds to go, the Knicks rallied to score the final seven points and secure the victory.
Donte DiVincenzo hit the game-winning 3-pointer with 13 seconds remaining, capping off a wild sequence that began with Jalen Brunson’s clutch 3-pointer from the corner. The Knicks tied the game moments later thanks to Josh Hart, who stole the ball from Tyrese Maxey and passed it to DiVincenzo for the open 3-pointer.
Tyrese Maxey had a brilliant performance for the 76ers, but his 35 points, 10 assists, and nine rebounds weren’t enough to overcome the Knicks’ late rally. Joel Embiid added 34 points and 10 rebounds, but he missed a potential game-tying 3-pointer at the buzzer.
The win gives the Knicks a 2-0 lead in the series, and they will head to Philadelphia for Game 3 on Thursday night. The 76ers will be looking to avoid a 3-0 deficit, while the Knicks will aim to extend their lead and move one step closer to a spot in the second round.
