Tyrese Maxey's heroics, Joel Embiid's gutsy effort, and Tobias Harris' bursts of scoring powered the Sixers to an overtime win, 112-106, forcing the series to a sixth game.
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.
