After two heart breaking 1 point losses, the Knicks flipped the switch. They went on to win three straight games by an average of 32 points per game. Large part due to the all around play of Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby. Now, they look ahead to their matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers.
Games 5 & 6 Breakdown

Game 5 was a pivotal game to win when the series was tied at 2-2. The Knicks were at home and they came out the gate strong.
Jalen Brunson finally figured out Dyson Daniels and OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns were stellar on both sides of the ball to propel the Knicks.
The Knicks were able to up their physicality and the Hawks were unable to respond. They went into the second quarter up 13 points and never looked back.
The lead never saw single digits again, and the Hawks were defeated. That defeat showed even worse when facing elimination in Game 6.
The MSG villain, CJ McCollum, fizzled out down the stretch of this series and turned out to not be a villain after all.
Game 6 was something out of a video game. The Hawks came out a made a few cute shots which found them up 11-9, and that is when everything went downhill.
The Knicks would go on a monstrous 65! to 16 point run. It was 83 to 36 points at halftime. That was the largest halftime lead in NBA Playoff history.
Not much analysis needed. A good old fashioned “B2A”, which stands for belt to you know what. The Knicks were locked in and looked like the team that we believed could contend for the title as we said all year.
They became the first team to win a playoff series in 5 games and a quarter! Knicks in 5.25! While the other six teams in the east were fighting it out in Game 7s.

A Look Ahead To Philly
Matt Slocum/Associated Press
Tonight a true test for the New York Knicks starts, the Semi-Finals versus Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and those darn Philadelphia 76ers.
Yes… Philly did beat Boston in a Game 7, which became the first time Boston ever blew a 3-1 series lead in their storied franchise history. I am just as shocked as you.
In many ways, Philly poses a greater matchup threat than Boston to the New York Knicks.
Their young explosive backcourt of Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe, former MVP Joel Embiid, and future Hall of Famer Paul George makes their squad incredibly dangerous.
The most concerning weaknesses would be health and depth. They don’t go deep into their rotation due to a lack of talent on their bench.
Which leads them to play their starters heavy minutes. For guys like Embiid and George, this can pose an issue due to their extensive injury histories.
I am intrigued to see what Mike Brown will do in terms of matching up with them as well as what rotations will look like to contain their top players.
Of course we know that KAT and Brunson will need to show up against their guard/center counterparts, but my main X-factors and most important players will be the others.
Our Wingstop trio of Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, and OG Anunoby are vital in this series. Their defense on Edgecombe, George, and Maxey being first priority, but on the other end, they will need to continue to put pressure on the rim, cut to the basket, and knock down their open looks from deep.
Can Josh Hart force Philly to guard him and not allow a big man to roam off of him on defense and replicate that fantastic series he had against them in 2024?
How will Mitchell Robinson look on Embiid in his minutes? Will Mikal Bridges show up and outplay Edgecombe and Oubre?
Can OG Anunoby continue his dominance on both sides of the basketball? And, how will KAT look against Embiid?
We will find out tonight, which will be the beginning of what will be a very hard fought series. However, I do think the Knicks have the correct answers to these questions and will execute.
I will not be surprised if this series goes the distance, but for now I will be taking the Knicks in 6!
