The New York Knicks have a prime opportunity to punch their ticket to the second round of the NBA Playoffs on Tuesday night.
Up 3-1 in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals' best-of-seven series, the Knicks have a chance to dispose of the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 5 on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks have not won at least one playoff series in consecutive seasons since a nine-year tally between 1992 and 2000.
New York dealt a sizable blow in the latter of two games staged at Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center on Sunday afternoon, earning a 97-92 decision behind the brilliant 47-point effort of Jalen Brunson, one that set a new franchise playoff record for points in a single game. For as much as they put on the board, the Knicks were equally adept at keeping things off it, holding Sixers franchise face Joel Embiid to but a single point in the final period of Game 4.
The Knicks did most of their damage with only seven men in their rotation, having lost both Bojan Bogdanovic and Mitchell Robinson to lower body injuries. Bogdanovic has been ruled out for Tuesday's game while Robinson is questionable, his minutes taken over by Precious Achiuwa in relief. Brunson is also listed as probably,having briefly left Tuesday's game after some knee-on-knee contract with Kyle Lowry forced him to miss the onset of the fourth period.
