Instead, he's just part of the rhythm of the offense.

Everybody's getting open.

Things are easier for Brunson.

He has to be taking less of a beating now than he has been through most of their playoff runs where he's playing a little bit looser and freer.

free which like leaves him a little extra juice in these fourth quarters because the difference was like Barlow was doing an awesome job he was moving his feet he was making the challenges tough but you give Brunson enough reps against a guy like Barlow he's gonna figure it out just put it up a split angle a little bit higher and drop it in nice and easy so this seems to be the way that the Towns and Brunson pairing should work and it just took a couple of years to actually figure out how to get it done

This was this feels like the game they needed to win to pull off an upset.

I still think they can win in this series, you know, tighten up the turnovers, I think, and play with the speed they were playing with.

Like the pace was actually down last night, but I think that's because in game one, the Knicks had so many runouts that it kind of upped the pace for.

everybody a lot of fouls last night a lot of fouls last night but I also thought that the way like the Sixers were getting into their their offense was a lot quicker because you know no Embiid out there which they slow down and get in the ball effective for sure but it's just a different style so I think the Knicks will be more ready for it if they know going into game three that there's not going to be an Embiid and we're seeing like a maxi edge come sort of thing uh

it's just going to require great shooting.

Like Maxie was so good in the first half.

The guy tired.

Absolutely.

In the second half, Nick's got really smart with the way they were trapping him, making anybody else beat him.

He had six turnovers last night.

He had nine in seven games against the Celtics.

So definitely feeling it more from the Knicks.

It feels like the series is over, but they just need to win game three.

That's a must win game from Philadelphia.

I don't know what that means, but they got one.
