NEW YORK (AP) --- Donte DiVincenzo made a go-ahead 3-pointer with 13 seconds
remaining after a desperate scramble, and the New York Knicks beat the
Philadelphia 76ers 104-101 on Monday night to take a 2-0 lead in their
first-round playoff series.
The Knicks trailed by five points within the final 30 seconds, on the verge of
losing home-court advantage before a stunning rally, starting when Jalen
Brunson finally got a shot to fall during an otherwise miserable night.
Brunson's 3-pointer from the corner bounced on the rim and fell in, cutting it
to 101-99 with 27 seconds remaining. Josh Hart stole the ball from Tyrese Maxey
to get the ball back for the Knicks, but DiVincenzo missed a 3-pointer. Isaiah
Hartenstein grabbed the rebound and passed it to OG Anunoby, who got it back to
DiVincenzo, who hit that one to make it 102-101.
Hartenstein then blocked Maxey's drive, Anunoby made two free throws, and the
Knicks held on when Joel Embiid missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
Brunson finished with 24 points despite going 8 for 29 from the field. Josh
Hart had 21 points and 15 rebounds, and DiVincenzo scored 19 points.
Maxey had 35 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds in a brilliant performance
after he was ill earlier in the day. Embiid had 34 points and 10 rebounds.
