Knicks Dominate Season Series vs. 76ers, Embiid's Absence Proves Costly
New York Knicks Secure Dominant Season Series Victory
76ers Fall Short in Mini-Series Sweep Attempt
NEW YORK - The Philadelphia 76ers' hopes of sweeping a two-game mini-series against the New York Knicks were dashed on Monday as the Knicks emerged victorious with a 111-104 win at Madison Square Garden.
The Knicks took an early lead and never looked back, exploiting the absence of 76ers star center Joel Embiid, who missed the game due to injury. Embiid's absence proved costly for the 76ers, who struggled to contain the Knicks' offense without their defensive anchor.
The Knicks won the season series 3-1, capitalizing on Embiid's absence in three of the four matchups. The Knicks' victory in the first game of their playoff series on Saturday further demonstrated their dominance over the 76ers this season.
Game 1 of the first-round series between the Knicks and 76ers was a closely contested affair, but the Knicks ultimately emerged victorious by a score of 117-106. The Knicks will look to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the series when they host the 76ers in Game 2 on Monday.
