The New York Knicks defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 108–102 on May 6 at Madison Square Garden in a defensive struggle that fell well short of the 213.5-point Vegas total. Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 26 points while OG Anunoby added 24, anchoring a balanced attack that shot 50.6 percent from the field and made seven three-pointers. Philadelphia's Tyrese Maxey matched Brunson with 26 points and Paul George contributed 19, but the 76ers' 18 turnovers and 45.3 field-goal percentage proved costly. New York's defense clamped down decisively in the fourth quarter, holding Philadelphia to just 12 points after the Knicks had scored 28 in the third. The Knicks' 10 steals and 114.9 offensive rating controlled the tempo, while Philadelphia's 13 turnovers to New York's 13 represented a wash in ball security. The 76ers' 13 made three-pointers couldn't overcome their inefficiency inside, as New York's 37 rebounds and 25 assists orchestrated a more efficient half-court game. This victory strengthens the Knicks' playoff positioning heading into crucial seeding scenarios.
