Philadelphia trails two games to one. They've outscored the Knicks by one point in the series. The two losses in New York were decided by an average of five points per game. That's how close it's been thus far.

Buddy Hield hasn't lived up to the hype during his time with the Sixers.

Joel Embiid went for a playoff career-high 50 points to power the Sixers to a critical 125-114 victory in Game 3.

Just when it looked as though the Sixers would wrap up a victory in Game 2, ignored timeout calls, missed fouls, and an untimely offensive rebound by the Knicks put Philadelphia into a two-games-to-zero hole, 104-101.

After appearing to survive a Joel Embiid injury scare, the Sixers got beat on the effort plays and lost their bet against Josh Hart hitting threes as the Knicks took Game 1, 111-104.

Joel Embiid and Nico Batum were heroic in the second half as the Sixers battled back from a double-digit deficit to beat the Heat, 105-104.

The Sixers have no choice but to face demons in the 2024 postseason. They will face one on Wednesday when the Miami Heat come to Philadelphia in a Play-In game for the right to battle the New York Knicks in the first round of the 2024 playoffs.

You can listen to the Sixers and Magic on Friday night at 7pm on 97.3 ESPN.

Joel Embiid went for 37 points, 11 rebounds, and eight assists to power the Sixers in a 120-102 victory.

Tyrese Maxey set a new career-high with 52 points, along with seven assists and five rebounds, to power the Sixers to a 133-126 victory in double overtime.
