Dissecting Sixers' 118-115 Game 6 setback to the New York Knicks

The 76ers season came to a close Thursday night with a 118 to 115 game six loss to the New York Knicks. New York opened a 22 point lead in the first quarter but the Sixers were able to rally thanks to 5 threes in the second quarter from Buddy Hield. Philly would go into halftime with a 54-51 lead. 

Then Knicks would slowly but surely take control in the second half. Jalen Brunson continued his dominant play scoring 14 of his game-high 41 points in the 4th quarter. 

Segment 1: THREE BIG THINGS: 1) YOU CAN’T GO DOWN 22 POINTS AT ANY POINT IN A PLAYOFF GAME!!!!!!!! Sixers weren’t ready at the start of this game!  2) We all love Maxey, but you need more from him tonight. 7 points heading into the 4th quarter, isn’t enough. 3) Defensive Break Down on the Hart three that sealed the Sixers fate  

Segment 2: Check in on the Show’s chat for some fan response…Fitting end to what should be Tobias Harris’ last game as a 76er. He had no points and was a -10. 

Segment 3: What now? Trade Embiid? Push him out? Take calls? Hold on to him no matter what? Re-sign Hield?
