Even the Whack or Hack a Robinson didn't seem to work for Philly
New York Knicks hands down won the first game against Philadelphia 76ers tonight. New York Knicks came out with intent, and they played with maximum effort. The defense held the super duo Tyrese Maxey to 13 points and Joel Embiid to 14 points. The Knicks defense never let up even being in foul trouble right away. Joel Embiid was having his way in the beginning of the game creating fouls on Karl Anthony Towns, and Mitchell Robinson. The Knicks seemed to weather the storm of foul trouble and protected the rim.
The Knicks coming off an incredible win against Atlanta Hawks they seemed to duplicate the formula. The cohesiveness of the offense where everyone was shooting. Great ball movement among the players. Protecting Jalen Brunson with having defensive challenges where he could concentrate on ball distribution.
Philadelphia tried early before the game could get away from them by Whacking or Hacking Mitchell Robinson by sending him to the free throw line in hopes of stopping the Knick momentum. Mitchell Robinson is well known for being on the worst spectrum of free throw shooting. The technique worked in a small margin for Philadelphia; Mitchell Robinson missed all his free throws tonight. The Philadelphia 76ers lost the game by 39 points. The final score was 137-98.
Is this New York Knicks team finally finding their stride, will Philadelphia have an answer and mount a dramatic comeback again like the last series.
We will see stay tuned for the next game.
