Bojan Bogdanovic’s Fourth-Quarter Treys Give Knicks a 104-101 Game 2 Victory

In Game 2 of the Knicks’ first-round playoff series against the 76ers, Bojan Bogdanovic played a crucial role in securing a 104-101 victory. Despite a sore wrist, Bogdanovic stepped up in the fourth quarter, hitting two momentum-shifting three-pointers that helped the Knicks maintain their lead and set up a thrilling finish. His performance caught the attention of 76ers coach Nick Nurse, who acknowledged the impact of Bogdanovic’s shooting. Bogdanovic’s contributions were part of a collective effort by the Knicks, who didn’t have any individual finalists for NBA postseason awards. However, coach Tom Thibodeau was a dark horse candidate for Coach of the Year after leading the team to 50 wins despite injuries. Despite the lack of individual recognition, the Knicks remain focused on their goal of team success.

76ers Plan Grievance Over Officiating Against Knicks

The Philadelphia 76ers are filing a grievance over the officiating during their playoff series against the New York Knicks. The grievance stems from the Knicks’ 104-101 victory in Game 2 on Monday night, which featured a controversial go-ahead 3-pointer from Donte DiVincenzo with 13 seconds remaining. The 76ers believe that Tyrese Maxey was fouled on the play, and also that coach Nick Nurse and some players attempted to call a timeout before the Knicks got the ball. This is the second time this season that the Knicks have protested the officiating. They previously protested a Feb. 12 loss in Houston after referees determined after the game that a foul on Brunson that set up the winning free throws shouldn’t have been called. The NBA denied that protest, saying a referee error was not grounds to overturn a result.
