The Philadelphia 76ers' first-round series against the New York Knicks will span at least five games. The Sixers entered Thursday night despite an 0-2 record.
Of course, it wasn't easy for Philadelphia. In a hostile South Philadelphia environment, the Sixers needed to be as physical as possible, and they got a signature MVP-caliber performance from big man Joel Embiid.
Embiid scored 50 points and led the Sixers to victory, their first win of the 2023 postseason. The Sixers haven't turned the tide yet, but it's within reach as a win Sunday afternoon could tie the series at two heading into Madison Square Garden.

recent history
It's no secret that the Knicks have dominated the Sixers this season. During the regular season, New York won three of four games. And when the playoffs began, the Knicks got off to a 2-0 start, but fell short for the first time on Thursday.
Sure, some might argue that the Sixers should be in control with a 2-1 lead at this point, given the botched call at the end of Game 2, but at this point, the hypothesis is nothing. There's no meaning. The fact of the matter is that the Knicks are favored and the Sixers have to play on Sunday.
- The Knicks are 1-4 against the spread in their last five games.
- The total amount has been exceeded in seven of the Knicks' last eight games.
- The Sixers are 12-2 against the spread in their last 14 games.
- The total has gone over in six of the Sixers' last eight games.
