Brunson powers Knicks to 3-0 series lead over 76ers
TL;DR Summary
The Knicks erased an early deficit in Philadelphia, then pulled away with a dominant second quarter and a late 13-3 run to beat the 76ers 108-94 and take a commanding 3-0 series lead. Jalen Brunson finished with 33 points and nine assists, Mikal Bridges scored 23 and defended Tyrese Maxey, and New York benefited from a strong bench effort while OG Anunoby was out and Karl-Anthony Towns played limited minutes due to foul trouble. Embiid had 18 and Maxey 17 for Philly, but a switch-heavy defense and timely scoring propelled the Knicks, who have now won six straight postseason games.
