Sixers Make NBA History With Bonkers Comeback Vs. Knicks

Tuesday night's Game 5 between the Philadelphia 76ers and the New York Knicks was nothing but remarkable.

Philadelphia found themselves down 96-90 with only 28.2 seconds left. However, Sixers' point guard Tyrese Maxey bolted down the court, converting a four-point play after being fouled by Mitchell Robinson on a three-point attempt.

Following a free throw by Josh Hart on the next possession, Maxey dashed down the court once again, sinking a 30-foot three-pointer, catapulting the game into overtime.

The Sixers' remarkable comeback now has them returning to Philadelphia, aiming to extend the series to a Game 7.

Just how incredible was the comeback? Well, it was actually historic .

Philly became the first team in NBA History to win a playoff game when shooting down 6 in the final 30 seconds of the fourth quarter.

Maxey's heroics had countless fans and players shocked, as the young Sixers star scored 46 points on 17/30 shooting (57%), including 7 threes and 9 assists.

"TYRESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BANG," said LeBron James, after watching Maxey's fourth-quarter heroics.

Some fans have even begun the debate if he's the Sixers' new go-to superstar.

It's an incredible achievement for the 23-year-old, further highlighting his impressive season. He's already made his first All-Star Game appearance and claimed the NBA's 2024 Most Improved Player award. Keeping the Sixers' season alive is just his latest feat.

Game 6 between the Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks will be held on Thursday night at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, airing on TNT.
