Watch: Madison Square Garden goes WILD as Knicks take 2-0 lead against Philly in playoffs series

Sometimes a game can appear to be headed towards a loss, leaving the entire fan base resigned and quiet. Then, within 45 seconds, two hustle plays completely shift the momentum in their favor. Naturally, the fan base watching goes wild. This exact scenario unfolded today at Madison Square Garden as the New York Knicks secured a victory against the Philadelphia 76ers with two decisive plays at the end of the game.

With 47 seconds left, the Knicks grabbed a rebound and Jalen Brunson scored a 3-pointer that brought the game to a 2-point deficit. The Knicks then pressured the 76ers on the in-bounds pass to knock the ball out of Tyrese Maxey‘s hands and pass to Donte DiVincenzo.

After he missed his first 3-pointer, the Knicks hustled and got the ball back to him again, where he made a three to lead by 1 point. On the 76ers next possession, Isaiah Hartenstein blocked Tyrese Maxey’s layup, putting the Knicks in control.

On the last possession the Joel Embiid tried to tie the game, but his long-range attempt was futile. This series of plays ensured the New York Knicks to take a 2-game lead in the playoff series. No wonder the crowd was going wild, and the noise led to the commentators suggesting that the Madison Square Garden was shaking.
