Sixers’ Timeout Plea Ignored, Knicks Steal Game 2 with Historic Comeback

The Philadelphia 76ers claim that they were unjustly denied a timeout in the final seconds of Game 2 against the New York Knicks, which may have cost them the win. According to Sixers coach Nick Nurse, the referee ignored his call for a timeout, resulting in a potential game-tying shot being missed by Joel Embiid. The Knicks, led by Jalen Brunson’s clutch three-pointer, rallied from a five-point deficit in the final 30 seconds to secure the victory. Despite Embiid’s 34 points and Tyrese Maxey’s 35, the Sixers now face a 2-0 series deficit heading into Game 3 in Philadelphia.
