How do you even start to define what happened in downtown Philadelphia on Thursday, May 2?
Perhaps the easiest way is by tackling it in reverse: the New York Knicks are a second-round team following their Game 6 win over the 76ers, 118-115.
Felt good to type that, felt better to experience it, even though the game tipped off at 9pm ET for most of yall and 3am EU for me. Well worth staying up.
