One of the most physical and intense 2024 NBA playoffs first-round series resumes Sunday as the Philadelphia 76ers host the New York Knicks for Game 4. The Knicks took a 2-0 lead after a couple of close encounters, but the 76ers returned the favor in Game 3 behind Joel Embiid's playoff career night.
The reigning NBA MVP gave the Knicks a 50-piece in his best postseason outing, shooting 68.4%, including 5 of 7 from 3 and 19 of 21 from the free throw line. The 76ers came out on top after displaying aggressive play on both ends, which the Knicks had done better in the opening two games.
It turned out to be a controversial game, too. Embiid got called for a flagrant after grabbing Mitchell Robinson's leg, drawing plenty of ire from the Knicks camp. Philadelphia also had other questionable non-basketball plays that were in the spotlight.
The Knicks will be mindful of these incidents, so there is bad blood between the East rivals. It will be intriguing to see how New York responds.
