Knicks Claw Back to Steal Game 2 from Sixers
From the Throes of Defeat to Unlikely Victory
In a thrilling turn of events, the New York Knicks snatched victory from the jaws of defeat on Wednesday night, rallying from a 5-point deficit in the final 27 seconds to stun the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 2 of their NBA playoff series.
A Dramatic Collapse for Philly
The 76ers appeared to be cruising to a comfortable win, holding a seemingly insurmountable lead with just seconds remaining. However, a series of uncharacteristic turnovers and missed free throws allowed the Knicks to chip away at the deficit until they found themselves with a chance to tie the game.
Eight Points in a Flash
With time running out, the Knicks rattled off eight consecutive points, including a game-tying 3-pointer from Jalen Brunson with only 0.8 seconds remaining. The 76ers' implosion was complete when Joel Embiid missed a potential game-winning shot, allowing the Knicks to escape with an improbable 108-107 victory at Madison Square Garden.
