NBA: Knicks Extend Lead Over 76ers, Brunson's Struggles Overshadowed by Team Success
New York Knicks Dominate Philadelphia 76ers in Game 2
Brunson's Poor Shooting Overshadowed by Team Victory
The New York Knicks extended their lead over the Philadelphia 76ers in their playoff series, securing a 2-0 advantage after a dramatic 8-0 run at the end of Game 2. Despite Jalen Brunson's continued shooting struggles, the Knicks' overall performance overshadowed his individual performance.
Brunson, who is shooting a meager 12-for-55 through the first two games, has faced criticism for his poor shooting. However, the Knicks' strong team play and ability to execute late in the game have compensated for his shooting woes.
The Knicks' victory marks a significant upset for the 76ers, who entered the series as favorites. The Knicks' defense has been particularly impressive, holding the 76ers to an average of 92.5 points per game.
The series will now move to Philadelphia for Game 3 on Saturday night. The 76ers will be desperate to avoid going down 3-0 and will need to find a way to limit the Knicks' late-game runs.
