Knicks vs. 76ers: Previewing the NBA Eastern Conference Semifinal matchup
It’s hard to imagine that after using Boston as the foil they had to surpass while building their roster, the Knicks have found a path through the postseason that doesn’t include the Celtics.
But that doesn’t mean the path isn’t without its challenges. The arrival of the Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference semifinals may be unexpected, but they won’t be easy to beat.
The Knicks and 76ers will meet in a rematch of a 2024 first-round series that was far closer than you might remember. The total point differential in the series was one point, and it could have swung to the 76ers, as the series could have, if Donte DiVincenzo’s second-chance three-pointer in Game 2 at Madison Square Garden hadn’t fallen through the net.
