PHILADELPHIA -- The Villanova boys did it again.

Jalen Brunson had 14 of his 41 points in the fourth quarter, and hit Josh Hart for his 12th assist, and what became the game-winning 3-pointer with 24 seconds remaining, as the New York Knicks escaped from Wells Fargo Center with a thrilling 118-115 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 6 of this forever-to-be-remembered first round series.

With the win, the Knicks advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals for a second consecutive season - a feat the franchise hasn't accomplished since 2000, when it did so for a ninth straight time.
