For the Sixers, the round of butt meetings turned out to be unsuccessful, the team lost twice on the road, which made them the underdog of the pair. Some kind of breakthrough was the fifth meeting, in which Philadelphia played away and managed to win an away victory in overtime with a score of 112:106, the hero of the meeting was Tyrese Maxey, who scored 46 points. Covington will not be on the floor, Embiid remains in doubt.
New York Knicks
This season, the Knicks showed themselves well in the regular season, now it's time to prove themselves on a new stage. The team was able to win the two starting home meetings, and then also won once away. New York in the fifth meeting could have ended the series, even led in the course of the match at home with a lead of 10 points, but in the end they missed the victory in the final seconds, and then lost in overtime.
