Philadelphia 76ers vs New York Knicks Full Highlights 3rd QTR | Feb 22 | 2024 NBA Regular Season
The key is the first few minutes of the third quarter and not let the other team think okay this is going to be a special comeback night even chenzo high off the glass won’t go deflected and taken by Maxi tyres Maxi 17 points leading score for Philly and heels three-pointer one
Goal knocked out of bounds and they say it’s still going to be ply Ball by the way hartstein remember he missed the three games before the All-Star break with the left Achilles soreness he missed some games earlier because of that he only played in that first half
Just under six minutes the Knick’s going to be careful with him because they want to make sure that he’s ready in the stretch run and ready come playoff time so especially if you have a big lead might not have to play as Maxi hits that plus Jericho Sims played so well
Yeah that’s a luxury to have but having him out there in the starting five he’s just such an intrical piece to this unit and just when he was out there the pieces fit perfectly atua played great at the four spot and I think that really gave the team confidence to start the
Game to AA shot clock of three aw off the bounce good defense from Paul Reed a che it ugly bang shot 24 second slowly and quickly that’s what they did very well in that first half by the way we we talked about randolin and an OB out obviously Mitchell Robinson for the
Knicks and be for the Sixers Sixers also still without Anthony Melton who’s a starter as Harris misses deflected out of bounds Nick’s ball also without Robert hington another player they got in James Hart ball batted away and an offensive foul call on div chenzo that’s two on
Him he’s making a big adjustment to start this second half that was Maxi’s hustle fighting over the screen as through that foul Maxi whips it back out buddy he lines it up knocks down a three and Tom tho right away calls a timeout five quick points and the lead is covered and
That would mean that you wouldn’t have to face Boston until the Conference Finals but there’s a lot more to worry about than that Brunson beautiful floater yeah the East is is really tough you drop a couple games you’re going to drop pretty far on the standings and
There are teams that made some big moves at the uh trade deadline to try to make a push to the playoffs Maxi nice feet inside to re stripped ball hit out of bounds by the way Brunson is shooting 56% he has that knack to put the ball in
The basket and you you compile that with his threes he’s been outstanding Harris fakes kicks it back Maxi quick release on a three is good look at that that’s that’s an incredible stat considering the size of the other players in the top five yeah Giannis is getting dunks he’s finishing
Around the basket a lot like that is is just huge the way he knows how to score his footwork is as good as anybody in the league pass inside hartstein couldn’t get it and the Knicks turn it over Maxi drives goes it a Chua and ball
But of course with the three ball no lead is safe in the NBA especially any early lead runs in another floer comes up short re to Harris Harris off the bounce lost it and it goes right to heel Maxi oh beautiful adjustment from Tyrese Maxi he’s had some gorgeous buckets and
Then a reach in and a foul on Batum good right Maxi all over divon chenzo and a travel call on Dem it was a foul Maxi drives goes right at Hawkin missed it par the rebound heart’s got eight more rebounds F overall 2917 on the boards plus 12
Brunson’s struggling a bit you have to remember I’m not going to give him an excuse he’s got five turnovers Josh Hart’s jump shot one go but he did have a fairly busy All-Star break heel picks her back up Lowry good to see him back in he’ll quick release
That’s a three and very very quickly the Sixers have cut a 26-point lead to 12 and there’s less than 5 minutes have gone by here in the third this exactly what Philadelphia needed divon chenzo trying to answer Nixon G call Einstein the rebound Brunson gets inside shot won’t go and a blocking foul
Donov in that first half if you were we know and love it’s had a great NBA career knocking down threes that’s big two free throws right there by Jam Brunson to extend this lead and now the Knicks are a little small on the front line so they have to figure out how a
Way to continue rebound and defend the front of the rim a cha is now the center CH has played both the five and the four he says he’s much more comfortable playing the four Maxi misses Brunson the rebound looks to push nice feet inside for chea boy the
Ball fake and the hesitation and jayen Brunson has his seventh assist Lowry played well before taking that elbow to the forehead sending him to the locker room to get stitches good defense there Brunson with the strip runson gets in the paint again count it and one brunson’s had a rough
St and remains perfect at the free throw line he’s six for six and the lead back up to 19 Lowry sees an opening fi nice F Larry to Harris threw it behind him and Harris turned it over Nick fans being heard right now here on the road third quarter in
Philadelphia Brunson to a Chua Chua bangs it off a backboard but got hit thinks on the Fly very quickly and because of his Mobility he’s causing a lot of defenses a lot of problems and knocking down this reer half points three and 1 half rebounds and now getting the most
Consistent minutes he’s had in his career he’s always mostly been a backup technical foul call on Nick nurse back and forth in the crowd with the cheering now Brunson again early on wasn’t shooting the ball was turning it over all of a sudden he’s got 17 points
Seven assists well you brought it up he can even when the shots aren’t falling he finds way to score points in the paint the way he gets to the basket the way he gets himself to the free throw line well Tom fibo one of the Tom fibo
Expressions is you don’t have to shoot well to play well says that all the time that one the magic is in the work there’s a whole bunch of them as Maxi gets inside strip but foul in defensive raiding I love what he said about where’d you go for the
All-Star break to get some warm weather he said he called it last year Club T Town that’s right but he’s he’s still not happy the t is up up by 20 whether that first hit that was expected from the Sixers AA goes inside layup no good but
A foul you know it’s it’s more than just clearly the rebound especially the offensiv wied in the NBA because just like you said he miss the free throw there he hasn’t had the opportunity to get those chunk both minutes when you come off the bench and you’re playing in
Five and six minute spurts you don’t really have a chance to get immersed in the game and now he’s not looking over his shoulder he knows he’s going to get major minutes and the Knicks are continuing to entrust him with more and more as far as his role goes chickfila
For everyone two Miss free throws by the opponent free chicken for the fans and that’s what with a big cheer was for Maxi meanwhile to pair up with Joel embiid he’s talked about though with embiid being out it’s the first time he gets this much much attention from the
Opposing defense is obviously and be draws so much attention a lot like when jius Randle plays defense has to pay such attention to the star players and Maxi’s getting more comfortable with it runson goes past heel another floaters up short Here Comes Lowry four and a half
To play here in the third Sixers trying to mounce a huge comeback Maxi using the screen set by Martin now drives on a twoa gets inside reverse won’t go Hart the rebound but Hart stepped out of bounds by KJ Martin UB the crossover lost it lost it twice
Picked up by heel shot clock at seven Maxi takes his time and knocks down another three that’s his fourth three-pointer and Maxi with 32 points the lead is cut to 14 again well the Sixers keep fighting back div chenzo Corner three that’s good just the second three-pointer for
Div chenzo now eight points on the game Maxi whips it to Lowry Lowry fakes
