Kelly Oubre Jr said Jalen Brunson going off was “due to happen” because of his talent and his high volume of shots.

“He’s just finding his groove. Thibs is doing a good job of putting him in positions to get to his left hand and get into the paint.”

Tyrese Maxey said the Sixers are still “extremely confident” in themselves despite the 3-1 deficit to the Knicks.

“When adversity hits, we know how to bounce back from it. I think we feel that we're very capable of winning three games in a row.”

Tyrese Maxey on the Sixers' struggles in the 4th quarter:

“We just couldn't get in a rhythm offensively as far as what we wanted to run a couple times. That's on me and K-Low to get us organized and get us a good shot.”

Nick Nurse on OG Anunoby guarding Joel Embiid:

“He did a good job. OG can obviously guard him. It's that and it's the scheme, as well. When he got it, they were getting it out of his hands. And, again, I think he made really great reads...We gotta step in and make 'em.”

Nick Nurse said De’Anthony Melton looked “okay” in Game 4, his first of the series. Said that his back injury is a tough circumstance to come back from

Nick Nurse on Joel Embiid playing the whole 2nd half: “He was feeling good and wanted to go.”

Noted the poor stretch the Sixers had with Embiid on the bench

After a tough loss in Game 4, the Sixers have their backs against the wall.

Joel Embiid scored just 1 point in the 4th quarter, the Sixers looked lost without him, Jalen Brunson balled the hell out and the Knicks lead the series 3-1.

4th quarter Maxey is here. Not just contributing key buckets/assists but also comes up with loose balls twice, including one insane save along the sideline.

5 fouls now on Hartenstein after yet another drawn foul from Embiid. Achiuwa comes into the game

Josh Hart does not get a flagrant 1 for elbowing Kyle Lowry in the face. Just an offensive foul because there was no wind-up into the contact

Bojan Bogdanovic (left ankle contusion) is out for the remainder of the game

Sixers lead Knicks 49-47 at half
-The stars are really showing out. Embiid and Brunson have been dominant and Maxey is starting to come along. Brunson's already up to 23 and 7!
-Philly has to figure out how to not crumble in the Embiid-less minutes

Bojan Bogdanovic (left foot contusion) is questionable to return

Loud MVP chants for Brunson, who has 19 points on 8-13 shooting so far

Jalen Brunson continuing to assert himself as Knicks open the 2nd quarter on an 8-2 run. Sixers offense looks way, way, way worse without Embiid
