GAME 5 FELT over. As did another Philadelphia 76ers' season.
A 15-foot jumper by New York Knicks guard Miles McBride had just put them up six points with 28.9 seconds remaining, and the sold out Madison Square Garden crowd rose to its feet in preparation to celebrate closing out a series at home for the first time since reaching the NBA Finals in 1999. Philadelphia coach Nick Nurse tried to rally his team as fans danced in the aisles.
But then Tyrese Maxey baited Knicks big man Mitchell Robinson into a shooting foul on a made 3-pointer.
