If you’re like me, you hated it.
The Knicks lost Game 5 on Tuesday in soul-breaking fashion to the Sixers after giving up a whole bunch of points in the final 27 seconds of play and, most damagingly, allowing point guard Tyrese Maxey to hoist a game-tying shot that should have never left his paws.
Philly inbounded the rock with barely 15 seconds on the clock still down three points, score 97-94 New York. Maxey crossed halfcourt with around 11 seconds left in regulation and dodged Knicks’ point guard Deuce McBride as he was screened by the towering Joel Embiid on the sequence.
