The Knicks have taken a strong 2-0 series lead over the 76ers, as they pulled out narrow victories in both of the games at home. Heading into Philadelphia for game 3 tonight, the Knicks are going to have to prepare for a battle because the 76ers will give maximum effort to avoid a 3-0 series deficit.

Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey combined for 69 points in their game 2 loss on Monday, as the 76ers fell to the Knicks 104-101. The 76ers should have won the game, as they carried a 101-96 lead with 30 seconds left to play. However, they conceded a three pointer to Jalen Brunson and had a turnover while trying to inbound the ball after the made basket. The Knicks hit another three pointer off the turnover to take a 102-101 lead, and Maxey’s layup attempt was blocked on the ensuing possession.

The loss was deflating for the 76ers because their best two players performed incredibly, and they just could not shut the door on the Knicks. However, tonight’s game is in Philadelphia, so the home crowd will likely provide a spark for the team.

Since the first two games of this series were close, fans will want to watch game 3 live tonight and can do so for free with DirecTV Stream’s free trial.
