Is this the year?
In what’s been an entertaining and tightly contested series, the Knicks have a chance to close out the 76ers Tuesday night as they hold a 3-1 lead in the first-round NBA playoff series.
Jalen Brunson stole the show in the Knicks’ Game 4 win with a franchise-record 47 points in a playoff game.
The Knicks were able to hold Joel Embiid, who has quickly ascended to ‘villain’ status, to 27 points.
If the Knicks win, they would face either the Magic or the Cavaliers in the second round.
Things did get harder for the Knicks, who found out they’ll be without key veteran Bojan Bogdanovic for the rest of the playoffs as he’s set for season-ending wrist and foot surgeries.
