If the 76ers can improve their rebounding and keep Joel Embiid on the court, they stand a good chance against the Knicks in Game 2.
In Game 1, the 76ers had a +14 point differential with Joel Embiid on the floor and -21 without him.Is this a sign that the tides are starting to turn?More importantly, Philadelphia was minus-13 in extra-scoring chances. The 76ers were no match for the Knicks on the offensive glass, losing the battle 23-9.
Thus, it’s clear the 76ers didn’t play anywhere near their standards, and yet they were still the better shooting team on the day. A big part of thwarting a team’s transition offense is getting your rim protector back down the court. And with Joel Embiid moving somewhat gingerly on his balky left knee, the Knicks took full advantage.Although bench players tend to play better at home, such a heavy reliance isn’t always sustainable during the playoffs, when your stars need to shine.
Embiid struggled to make it back down the court, and the Knicks scored 11 seconds later on an OG Anunoby dunk. It was part of a 7-0 run to close out the second quarter for the Knicks, who took a 58-46 lead into the locker room.
