The New York Knicks dominated the Philadelphia 76ers 137–98 at Madison Square Garden on May 4, 2026, in a decisive playoff performance that fell well short of the Vegas total of 212.5 points. Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 35 points while OG Anunoby added 18, as New York shot 63.1 percent from the field and connected on 19 three-pointers to overwhelm Philadelphia's defense. The Knicks' offensive rating of 140.5 dwarfed the 76ers' 99.0, with New York's second quarter proving decisive—41 points that extended their control. Philadelphia managed just 41.1 percent shooting and committed 19 turnovers against 15 assists, with Paul George's 17 points and Joel Embiid's 14 representing a significant offensive drought. New York's 34 assists and 39 rebounds showcased balanced ball movement and dominance on the glass, while the 76ers were outrebounded and limited to just 11 three-pointers. The 39-point margin underscored a complete breakdown in Philadelphia's execution and defensive intensity. The Knicks' commanding victory strengthens their playoff positioning significantly.
