New York Knicks’ Roar in Philadelphia
Knicks’ Triumph in Game 4 of NBA Playoffs
As the clock wound down on Game 4 of the Eastern Conference first-round playoff series between the Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks, the Wells Fargo Center crowd was deafening. However, their cheers were not for their home team. Instead, they were for their visitors, the Knicks.
Jalen Brunson’s Heroic Performance
Leading the charge for New York was Jalen Brunson, who delivered a spectacular 47-point performance. His electrifying play, coupled with a roaring contingent of Knicks fans who had descended upon Philadelphia, lifted the spirit of the team. The crowd’s support was not lost on Brunson, who expressed his appreciation after the game.
A Passionate Fan Base
The Knicks’ fans made their presence felt not only through their overwhelming numbers but also their enthusiastic chants and cheers. They urged their team on, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of the iconic support seen in European basketball arenas. Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein summed up the experience, saying, “It’s probably the closest you’ll ever get to European fans.”
Disappointed Embiid
The overwhelming support for the Knicks did not sit well with 76ers star Joel Embiid. As he exited the court, he voiced his frustration, expressing his belief that the large contingent of Knicks fans at Wells Fargo Center was “disappointing” and “not okay.”
Embiid’s Unhappiness
“I love our fans,” Embiid said, according to SNY. “Think it’s unfortunate, and I’m not calling them out, but it is disappointing. Obviously, you got a lot of Knicks fans, and they’re down the road, and I’ve never seen it, and I’ve been here for 10 years.”
Outraged Knicks Fans
Embiid’s comments did not dampen the spirits of Knicks fans who gathered in the lobby after the game. They responded with defiant chants of “F— Embiid,” mocking the reigning MVP’s frustration and disappointment.
Bruising Battle Continues
The Knicks are now one win away from advancing to the second round of the playoffs, having taken a commanding 3-1 series lead. The game will return to Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night, where the Knicks hope to end the series and send their passionate fans into a frenzy.
