Without Joel Embiid on Wednesday night, the 76ers put up more of a fight than they did with him in Game 1.
But that still wasn’t enough against these Knicks.
Despite trailing at halftime, the Knicks prevailed with a 108-102 win in Game 2.
Jalen Brunson (26 points) and OG Anunoby (24 points) led the way as New York took a 2-0 second-round series lead. Karl-Anthony Towns finished with a 20-point, 10-rebound double-double.
The Knicks outscored the Sixers 19-12 in the final quarter to seal the win.
The teams will meet again on Friday at 7 p.m. ET in Philadelphia.
