Knicks Eye Mother's Day Sweep: Closeout Bid in Game 4 vs. 76ers
With a 3-0 series lead, the Knicks head to Philadelphia on Mother's Day to close out the Eastern Conference semifinals. New York dominates in the paint and on the boards as Jalen Brunson runs the show, with Mikal Bridges stepping up on defense and Hart and Shamet providing depth. Philadelphia relies on Maxey and Embiid, but depth has been lacking; Embiid is expected to play through injuries while OG Anunoby is day-to-day for New York. ESPN projects roughly a 66% chance for a Knicks clinch; if they maintain the rebounding edge and slow Maxey in half-court sets, they could seal the series by about 15 points.
