On April 29, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, and the 76ers played against the Knicks at home. The last game of the 76ers won the victory, this time the momentum was also good, and soon took the initiative on the court, but after that, the Knicks began to counterattack and successfully close the point difference, and Brunson began to score consecutive points in the third quarter to help the team overtake the score, and the two teams fell into a tug-of-war in the final quarter, and the Knicks successfully held the advantage. In the end, the Knicks defeated the 76ers 97-92 on the road, and the series led 3-1.
The 76ers managed to pull one back in the last game, and this time they also want to tie the series at 2-2. Embiid played the whole game in the first quarter, and under his leadership, the team also took the initiative, once taking a 12-point lead, but with Embiid resting, the Knicks quickly closed the score, and only trailed by 2 points at the end of the half.

The Knicks have been doing very well this season, and even though Randle was reimbursed early for the season, they finished second in the East under Brunson. Facing the 76ers in the first round, the strength is comparable, but they can withstand the critical moment, this game under the leadership of Brunson, the team won again, stretched the series to a 3-1 lead, got the match point in advance, and the next game will be played at the Knicks' home court.
Brunson's performance directly conquered the Philadelphia fans, and when he stepped to the free throw line in the final moments, the audience chanted MVP, which showed his momentum in this game. Brunson played 43 minutes, shooting 18-of-34 from the field, scoring a career-high 47 points, plus 10 assists and committing just one turnover. You must know that the Knicks only scored 97 points on the team, and Brunson directly got the average score, which also made the 76ers really have nothing to do.
The 76ers also took the initiative when they came up, but unfortunately they failed to grasp it, Embiid got 27 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists this time, but unfortunately he couldn't stand up to help the team in the final quarter, and only relied on free throws to score 1 point in 0 of 5. In addition, Maxey also had 23 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and Oubre scored 19 points, but unfortunately they could not limit Brunson's offense, and in the end they still regretted defeat.
