In a commanding performance, the New York Knicks defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 109-94, taking a 3-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Jalen Brunson was pivotal, scoring 33 points and dishing out nine assists. The Knicks, riding a six-game winning streak, absorbed an early challenge from the Sixers, who built a 12-point lead in the first quarter, largely thanks to Paul George's 15 points. However, the Knicks tightened their defense and exploded for 33 points in the second quarter, shooting an impressive 57 percent from the field. Despite Joel Embiid's return and his 18 points, Philadelphia struggled to maintain momentum, especially after a scoring drought in the third quarter. Brunson's late-game heroics extinguished any hopes for the Sixers, who now face the daunting task of overcoming a 3-0 series deficit.
