76ers’ Nick Nurse still encourages physical play after ‘dirty’ foul in Game 3 vs. Knicks
PHILADELPHIA — In the wake of winning Game 3 with at least one play labeled “dirty” by the Knicks, Sixers coach Nick Nurse didn’t want his team to tone it down. “I think about every time these two teams play each other — regular season or playoffs — it’s a rivalry, man,” Nurse said Friday. “It’s intense. It’s got history. It’s physical. Now, it’s the playoffs on top of it, right? As far as did I say, ‘Hey calm down’? No. I think they were kinda isolated incidents. It seemed like they happened right on top of each other there for...
Onus now on Knicks to respond to Joel Embiid’s dominant, physical Game 3
PHILADELPHIA — The physicality was written all over Isaiah Hartenstein’s neck, the scratch marks befitting a raccoon attack. The Sixers, and Joel Embiid, in particular, had gone full-on WWE heel with two groin shots, a two-legged takedown and an eye slap from Kyle Lowry. Somewhere along the way, Hartenstein was clawed on his neck and chest. And as Hartenstein sat in his locker Thursday night all he had to show for it was a 125-114 loss, a 50-point gem from the man he was guarding and persistent foul trouble. “The biggest thing is the free throws,” said Hartenstein, referencing Embiid going 19 for...

Knicks need to figure out how to slow down Tyrese Maxey
PHILADELPHIA — The Knicks totally have their hands full trying to thwart Joel Embiid — or at least keep him off the foul line — but they also haven’t been able to figure out how to slow down the 76ers’ other dynamic All-Star through the first three games of the playoffs. All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey has averaged 31.0 points per game with excellent shooting splits, including 25 more points in the Sixers’ first win of the first-round series Thursday night at Wells Fargo Center. The 23-year-old speedster has posted a stellar .507/.393/1.000 line in his field goal, 3-point and free-throw percentages in...

Knicks need Donte DiVincenzo and OG Anunoby to be more consistent
PHILADELPHIA — The Knicks finally got Jalen Brunson untracked in Game 3, but two other greatly depended-upon starters — Donte DiVincenzo and OG Anunoby — have had an up-and-down first three games of their first-round series against 76ers. DiVincenzo followed up the euphoria of his go-ahead 3-pointer with 13.0 seconds remaining in Game 2, with his second quiet offensive showing in the series in the Knicks’ Game 3 loss Thursday night. DiVincenzo, who had scored eight points on 3-for-10 shooting in the opener before his Game 2 heroics, was held to five low-impact points and missed all three of his 3-point attempts...
Moose on the Loose: Knicks look to bounce back in Game 4
NEW YORK (PIX11) — The Knicks vs. 76ers is getting interesting; after Philadelphia’s Game 3 victory last night, the focus is on Joel Embiid, and rightfully so. As a basketball player, he was brilliant as he dropped in 50 points on 13 of 19 shooting and Philly won 125-114. He is an iconic big man, and his performance and impact last night was brilliant. Remember, he is doing all of this damage with one healthy knee.
