NEW YORK -- When Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum was asked Sunday what stood out about rewatching his team's Game 1 loss to the New York Knicks, his answer was immediate and short.
"Rebound," Batum said.
While there were many reasons the 76ers could point to for falling short in a game they had chances to win on the road, it was New York's offensive rebounding that stood out.
The Knicks finished Game 1 with a staggering 23 offensive rebounds -- including seven alone by Mitchell Robinson -- that led to a 26-8 advantage in second-chance points, something that came up repeatedly during Philly's off-day media availability ahead of Game 2 back at Madison Square Garden on Monday night.
