Josh Hart raised his arms and extended three fingers on each hand on his go-ahead 3-pointer from the top of the arc with 24.4 seconds left that was finally enough to send the New York Knicks past the Philadelphia 76ers 118-115 in Game 6 on Thursday night and into the second round of the playoffs.
Jalen Brunson had 41 points and 12 assists to lead the Knicks, who are set for an Eastern Conference semifinal matchup with Indiana. The Pacers beat Milwaukee in six games and advanced to the second round for the first time in 10 years.
All of New York is happy. Cab drivers, stockbrokers, students, teachers, the rich and the poor. The Knicks are giving the city a big emotional lift. We feel it, and hope that you do too.
The lovely ladies who perform at Rick’s Cabaret New York, the top strip club known to be a favorite with the Knicks and NBA fans have been hosting post-game parties at the three-story club and they are always memorable. Our friends at Rick’s sent over some pics of the girls and we always welcome beautiful girls who are Knicks fans!
You should visit Rick’s and experience the club’s great food, VIP treatment, and overall excitement and fun. 50 West 33 Street, just one block from Madison Square Garden. See you there!
Jalen Brunson is the first NBA player to score 40 or more to close out a series since Michael Jordan for Chicago against Cleveland in 1989.
In a series defined by tight games, Hart hit the clutch shot that made it 114-111 and again had “Let’s go Knicks! Let’s go Knicks!” chants echoing throughout Philly’s home court. Joel Embiid scored a bucket but fouled out on the next possession.
Donte DiVincenzo sealed New York’s win with two free throws.
“The fourth quarter was just one big play after the next,” Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said.
