The Philadelphia 76ers and the New York Knicks had an entertaining battle on Saturday, but Joel Embiid and company had nothing to be happy about — particularly with how the contest ended.
With the Knicks up by three points, New York star point guard Jalen Brunson went to the foul line for a pair of free throws. Converting at least one of his attempts would have made it a two-possession game, virtually sealing the win for the Knicks.
However, Brunson bricked both shots, leaving the door open for Philadelphia to tie the score and force overtime with a three-pointer. The 76ers never got the chance to launch a Hail Mary, though, as Embiid turned the ball over after securing a rebound.
Here’s how the play unfolded in the dying moments of the game.
