76ers Drop Game 1 in Playoff Series

Sixers Fall to Knicks in Home Opener

The Philadelphia 76ers fell to the New York Knicks 113-104 in their first game of the 2023-24 NBA playoffs on Saturday. The Sixers were led by James Harden's 27 points, but the Knicks were too much for them in the end. The Knicks were led by Jalen Brunson's 30 points. The Sixers will now have to win Game 2 on Monday to tie the series 1-1. If they can do that, they will have home-court advantage for the rest of the series. The Knicks will be looking to take a 2-0 lead and put the Sixers in a tough spot. The atmosphere in Wells Fargo Center was electric on Saturday, but it was the Knicks who left with the win. The Sixers will need to play better in Game 2 if they want to avoid going down 0-2 in the series. In other news, the Sixers have signed center Joel Embiid to a new five-year, $196 million contract extension. Embiid is one of the best players in the league, and this extension will keep him in Philadelphia for the foreseeable future. The Sixers are hoping that Embiid can lead them to their first NBA championship since 1983.
