Josh Hart: “Being the favorite in a series means absolutely nothing.”

OG Anunoby in 2026 playoffs (vs. regular season stats): 21.0 PPG — up from 16.7 7.9 RPG — up from 5.2 2.7 3PG — up from 2.3 64% FG — up from 48% 59% 3PT — up from 39%

Q: "Last 4 games 135-point differential…largest in NBA playoff history" … KAT: "You said last 4 games? Keyword is Last Doesn't have anything to do with Next… Stay locked in"

a dominant game ☝️ at @TheGarden 💪

Jalen Brunson 35 PTS, 1 REB, 3 ASTS, 2 STLS, 3/6 3PT, 8/8 FT, 81% TS on 12/18 FG vs 76ers

brought the electricity ⚡️

GAME WON.

Mikal Bridges gets well-deserved applause from Garden crowd when he checks out in third quarter. He has 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting and has been strong on defense. Knicks are tough to beat when Bridges and OG Anunoby are playing at this level.

Knicks are first team in play by play era (since 1997) to take a lead of 30+ points in 3 straight playoff games, per @sportradar

Jalen Brunson in Game 1: 35 PTS 2 STL 12-18 FG His 15th 35-point playoff game — the most ever by a Knick.

you gotta guard kat from everywhere 😵‍💫

OG Anunoby has hit 19 of his 32 three-point attempts so far in the playoffs. Knicks are +105 when he's on the floor in the postseason. He has 18 points on 7 for 8 shooting so far in Game 1. Knicks lead Sixers by 30 five minutes into the second half.

49 straight playoff games with 15+ points. Jalen Brunson has NEVER scored under 15 in the postseason as a Knick. Only longer streaks to start a playoff career with one team: • Jordan (179) • Kareem (57) That’s it. Brunson is built for this. 🧡💙 (H/T @OptaSTATS)

Jalen Brunson just had the 2nd most points in a single half in Knicks history. Trailing only himself in 2024.

cap beats the buzzer 🚨 🪣 27 PTS

new round. same mission.

@BigKnickEnergy_ Regular szn matchups mean nothing, plus they didn’t have Embiid that game. Going to be a battle 7 game series

FYI, The Knicks beat the piss out of the 76ers the last time they played them.

@_the6thman Yup last three playoff exits we had home court in all of them, this Sixers team is one of the more talented teams we’ve faced in the Brunson era too. They’re rolling right now going to be a tough 7 game series, home court or not we have to show up for 48 minutes of hoops.

My message for the Knicks and the fanbase ahead of Knicks vs Sixers Game 1 👀 #LetsGoKnicks

nothing like playoffs in @TheGarden

playoff time in new york? it's different.
